I have to confess to a long-term professional crush on Mike Moss, the intrepid New York Times investigative journalist who blew the lid off big foods’ research-based adeptness at engineering our Bliss Point–– finding the most exquisite balance of Salt, Sugar, Fat that renders us helpless faced with an open bag of Doritos. Or Oreo––or pick your poison. His new book, Hooked, unmasks the rigorous research used to addict us to ultra-processed food. He is such a trove of insight and knowledge that I couldn’t stop listening to him. I think you will feel the same. Let’s have a listen.Photo courtesy of Dan Sheehan.Let’s Talk About Food is Powered by Simplecast.
