The food industry knows their products are fattening and sickening hundreds of millions of people, and like tobacco, they justify their behavior by claiming, “It’s not our fault, that’s what the consumer wants-we’re not making them buy our products.” The book makes many important analogies with the selling practices of the tobacco industry. Salt Sugar Fat is an expose of how food companies use and manipulate science to sell the maximum amount of food to consumers. No one is purposefully trying to hurt you or your family-this is just raw commerce, where profits rule. Rather, this book explains how normal unregulated business practices underlie the current epidemics of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes in the US and those parts of the world with increasing prosperity (China, India, Mexico, etc.). No practical solutions for the current obesity and health catastrophes facing our nation and the developed world are offered.
