I've tried reading the print version of this twice and just was never able to keep reading, which was disappointing since I'm really interested in the topic.

Then I came across the audiobook version narrated by Scott Brick.

I couldn't stop listening. It was a fascinating journey into the history of the processed food industry, and I would seriously encourage EVERYONE to read it.

We have a tendency to trust corporations, and they can very easily manipulates us with advertising – anyone who's seen MAD MEN knows that I'm talking about – as well as using science and the reaction the brain has when it's introduced to massive amount of salt, sugar, and fat. All of that information is used in the process of making and selling food to consumers.

Incredibly interesting read.
