From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Salt Sugar Fat comes a powerful expose of how the processed food industry exploits our evolutionary instincts, the emotions we associate with food, and legal loopholes in their pursuit of profit over public health.
Michael Moss is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Salt Sugar Fat- How the Food Giants Hooked Us, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter formerly with The New York Times, a keynote speaker, and an occasional guest on shows like CBS This Morning, The Dr. Oz Show, CNN's The Lead, All Things Considered, and The Daily Show.
Hooked shows how food manufacturers have taken advantage of
our habits, our biology, our psychological quirks, and our
ignorance to transform foods into addictive substances. He takes
us into laboratories and courtrooms, kitchens and legislatures-and
shows us how we can win our freedom back * Charles Duhigg,
author of The Power of Habit *
Michael Moss delivers again with a deep, well-written
investigation into food addiction and mass food production.
With so many companies competing for our attention, dollars, and
stomachs, it's more important than ever to educate ourselves about
food and arm ourselves against efforts to get us hooked. This is
a very important read for anyone who cares about their health *
Sylvia Tara, author of THE SECRET LIFE OF FAT *
No one has done more to reveal the intentional and underhanded
ways in which food companies manipulate our desires and eating
habits than Michael Moss. In Hooked, he shows how these
ongoing crimes must be challenged and stopped. A must-read for
anyone who cares about food, general well-being, and justice *
Mark Bittman, author of ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, JUNK *
Excellent... blends investigative reporting, science and foodie
writing to argue that the processed food industry is no different
from tobacco companies * New York Times *
