What a great and enlightening book. Totally made me rethink food and the grocery store.
My favourite thing was how Moss approached the material. Especially when he was interviewing executives of the processed food industry. He gave them a solid even keel to state their case. He could have portrayed them in a number of other ways but he portrayed them honestly and fairly and I appreciate that.
The book is not a health book as my friend mistakenly assumed. It is an enlightening expose on the processed food companies, the public's consumption, and how it's progressed through the years.
Another aspect that chilled me was the marketing side. Being that a good chunk of the advertisements mentioned were from the nineties, they were the ones aimed at me as a kid. I remember the ads they talked about and I remember how they affected me. I plan to be critical of advertisements and claims from now on.
This book is an easy read with nice understandable language for those outside the nutrition field. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a compelling non-fiction read.

It wasn't the Skinny Bitch-type exposee that I was expecting, but that probably adds to its appeal - it appears to treat the processed food respectfully. It's only in the very last portion of the book that the author starts to talk about what we should be eating. It's interesting. In case you're wondering - we eat a lot of salt, sugar, and fat.

First time finishing a full audiobook! although a little drawn out at times, the points made and overall message were quite shocking, and definitely shifted my perspective on processed food consumption for the better.
