Episode: How We Get Hooked on Processed Food with Michael Moss
Description: Snacking more during the pandemic? Ever wondered whether you're addicted to food? The Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Michael Moss, author of the new book, Hooked: Food, Free Will, and How the Food Giants Exploit Our Addictions as well as 2014's Salt Sugar Fat, argues that the processed-food industry has engineered their products to compel us to eat them—causing all sorts of health problems at the population level. Here, Moss is in conversation with guest host Leslie Beck, the Globe and Mail columnist and Medcan director of food and nutrition.
