I’ve read it twice now, and I feel like I could read it a third time and still learn more. Salt Sugar Fat is one of those books that has the potential to completely rock the way you think about food. The book details the driving forces behind convenience foods (such as more women joining the workforce outside of the home and having less time for meal prep, men working longer hours, etc.), but it also talks at length about the brilliant marketing efforts of big food companies, sometimes in partnership with the government, in creating the desire for this way of eating. If not, it’s a fascinating read on how our current processed, fast-food, snacking-all-the-time culture came to be. Oh, this book, this book. I’m thinking if you’re reading here, you’re probably already familiar with Michael Moss’s Salt Sugar Fat at least in title.
