According to an interview with the author, Michael Moss, he started collecting information for the book by “look[ing] at what food companies were intentionally adding to their products, starting with salt.” The government strictly regulates the safety of processed foods; however, they are also huge proponents of creating a dependence on the industry (i.e. allowing ingredients that leave you wanting more food). In 2011, the retail food industry drove $571 billion in sales. Where are the “food giants” supposed to draw the line between providing wholesome foods to consumers versus caring for what the consumers are putting into their body? Get it here.

In one of the points central to the book’s argument, Wachob likens how we should treat our bodies to how we treat our financial security.
