Food Inc. Snack, Crack and Pop
Welcome to diet season. The idea at the heart of every diet is that if you’re fat, it’s solely your fault. But what if that simply isn’t true? Yes, sedentary lives have expanded our waistlines, but so too have the multi billions of dollars that the food industry pump into feeding us lies year after year.
The vicious circle is pernicious. Food scientists’ engineer crave-able products that have ‘bliss points’. Consumers lose control of their eating habits and then their will power. Self blame kicks in and then self-esteem plummets. In order to temporarily escape those understandable negative feelings, consumers find themselves back at the food store.
Renegade Inc host, Ross Ashcroft, met up with author of Salt, Sugar, Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us, Michael Moss, to discuss how food has increasingly become an intrinsic part of a profitable industry that’s detrimental to our health.
