Reaction to Salt, Sugar, Fat

Over my first semester in college I started reading a book called Salt, Sugar, and Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us by Michael Moss. During my first semester I was very open to the book and I wondered what it would be about. Overall I really like it because Michael Moss tells us that Salt, Sugar, Fat because he tells us the truths about these three things. These three things are in our daily foods we eat and consume every day from what Moss tells us in his book. Moss tells us that Salt is bad because we could get high blood pressure and that could then lead to heart problems and ultimately it can cause death. When you think about it. It all starts to make more sense and you start to pick up what Moss is implying or trying to tell us when it comes to Salt. Throughout the whole book there has been many things that has surprised me from fat in milk to the many tea spoons in sugar that is contained in a can of sugar. All of these three things are in our foods and they are not there in a lightly portion they are there in mass dosages. This is because high dosages are used to mask the real product, to give it a better taste or to let us know that it is healthy when it really isn’t. Michael Moss’s book made me realize that fast food and Salt, Sugar, and Fat are ingredients that are used to manipulate us into eating more products that contain more of these things. Thanks to this book it made me realize that I should watch how I eat more often and make sure my foods have low sugar, fat, and salt. This book made mea realize that the food industry will do anything just so they can get more money out of us and most of them just care about their products and not us.
