In June, we’ll discuss Hooked: Food, Free Will, and How the Food Giants Exploit Our Addictions by Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative reporter Michael Moss. Moss uses the latest research on addiction to uncover what the scientific and medical communities—as well as food manufacturers—already know: that food, in some cases, is even more addictive than alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs. A gripping account of the legal battles, insidious food manufacturer marketing campaigns, and cutting-edge food science that have brought us to our current public health crisis, Hooked lays out all that the food industry is doing to exploit and deepen our addictions, and shows us why what we eat has never mattered more.

If you prefer, you may choose to read Moss’s first book on the subject of food addiction, Salt Sugar Fat, published in 2013 and available in paperback. Join the conversation to hear his latest research on how the processed food industry has continued to manipulate food products and capitalize on our addiction to unhealthy food.

Please note that this is a book group discussion and will not include a report on the contents of the book. Those who have not read any of the book will find less value in the discussion than those who read at least some if not all of it.

This monthly series is facilitated by Lynn Diamond, PPMNY’s Associate Network Director & Director of Community Education.

Registrants will receive a Zoom link on the day of the event.
