This food was grossly fascinating to me. It is considered a Young Adult adaptation of The End of Overeating. It basically reveals how food companies and restaurants design food to make it so irresistible that we cannot stop eating it. The addictive combination of sugar, salt, and fat retrain our brains so that we are driven to crave these foods, yet never feel satisfied after eating them. The most disgusting part was when the author talked about additives called “binders” that are put into processed food to make it “dissolve” in our mouths and easy to swallow. These additives make us eat more, crave more, want more, and buy more. I could not tear myself away—it was like reading a real-life horror movie. I recommend this book to readers who like informational books about nutrition, our food supply, and perhaps even conspiracy theories. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars—all food is definitely not created equal.
