Michael Moss is an investigative reporter who was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for exploratory reporting in 2010. He has worked for such prestigious institutions like the New York Times and Wall St Journal, and is adjunct professor at Columbia School of Journalism. He is the author of the best seller Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants hooked Us and has a new book, fresh off the press - Hooked: Food, Free Will and How the Food Giants Exploit our Addictions.
In his first ground breaking book, Michael highlights the rise of the process food industry and how it used salt sugar and fat as a holy trinity of ingredients to snare us into eating foods that were extremely unhealthy - but highly profitable to the industry. Big Food is a deeply secretive world that Moss exposed.
Here he takes the next step and explicitly connects the dots between the food giants and our addicted brains - pushing profit at the expense of our obesity, illness, depression and beyond. Pick up his book: Hooked: Food, Free Will and how the Food Giants Exploit our Addictions.
