Your weight isn’t entirely your fault — and that’s exactly what the folks engineering your food don’t want you to know. Find out how you can bite back.
Sugar. Fat. Salt. Combine large doses of any of these with a seemingly innocent and healthy vehicle—be it chicken breast, potatoes, salad greens, or coffee—and you can create a savory offering similar to those on the vast majority of American restaurant menus and in the thousands of packages on your supermarket shelves. That’s because the folks engineering your food know that these hidden health hazards will make any meal, snack, or treat more delicious, flavorful, and satisfying. And, if they’re successful, you’re likely to buy more of their food. They’re also fond of adjusting proportions to create so-called “low-fat” or “reduced-sodium” products.
But compare the nutrition labels and you might discover some sleight of hand.
