I am reading "Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us" by Michael Moss. It provides ample motivation to follow the simple rule of thumb to avoid the center of the grocery store and instead make your way around the periphery, to pick up fresh produce, a small amount of meat and dairy if desired, and a moderate amount of whole-grain bread on the way out.
The findings in the book clearly suggest better laws regulating Big Food without bashing the reader over the head with a political message.
People are suffering and dying in part due to unhealthy foods. As the states said to Big Tobacco in the nineties, "You caused this, you pay for it." It’s a simple message certain food companies should internalize as they look toward their own future.
