Michael Moss and his book Salt,Sugar,and fat show how corporate America sinks to a new low trying to get kids at the youngest possible age hooked to their unhealthy brands. The book also talks about how the government helps by buying excess cheese and to get people to think this should be a daily food item for all of your meals. This is perhaps the best book today that exposes the food industry for what they are and Mr Moss is perhaps one of the best investigative journalists on this issue. This book is so researched I wonder how many years it took Moss to complete it. The book is divided into three parts of how the food is selected and made to seduce the public and their taste buds. He tackles most of the major players on the American food scene and how these companies use their power to influence everything from government to supermarkets to get their way and product out to peoples kitchens. Moss seems to be an intelligent guy although on the videos I have seen of him on Youtube i would also describe him as a kind of a dweeb as well. Maybe a whiner. People are not going to go back to life on a farm and in the hustle and bustle of cities these products are around forever. Unless people are willing to eat peas out of a can or just a yogurt and banana for lunch will blame at fault to these companies can be thrown. he needs to take on bad parenting and laziness of parents and working mothers to doing what women use to do for a millinuim. The conviance of these foods will always have people in urban areas hooked more than the actual research and taste that Moss is so sure is the cause.
