HOOKED
Food, Free Will, and How the Food Giants exploit our Addictions
MICHAEL MOSS
Review by Author Roy
Murry
HOOKED is an explosive
read that will have your brain spinning. There are no conclusions into why
humans are addicted to food, alcohol, or drugs, only expert opinions.
Mr. Moss gives an excellent case that the major food producers manipulate their products' formulas to control human consumption and sales. However, the center of human addictions to food cannot ultimately indict them.
As he notes, paraphrased: Humans have been unwitting conspirators in letting them exploit all the ways that we're drawn to their food. We have a choice as to what we eat, whether it's processed food, i.e., a jar of spaghetti sauce, or cooking it from scratch, as I do.
Mr. Moss cites the use of price, ease of purchase, taste (Salt, Sugar, and Fat) are the ways major food producers control human eating habits. They spend millions to perfect that marketing program to keep humans HOOKED on their product lines.
His case is solid but does not convict those manipulators, in my opinion. HOOKED is full of opinions, as with what you put in your mouth.
HOOKED is a book for THE INQUISITIVE MIND. It is an excellent read that the reader will use and think about it for days.
