The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food

Michael Moss is a journalist and researcher of The New York Times. The article “”The Extreme Science of Addictive Junk Food”” was published in The New York Times on February 20, 2013. Moss wrote an article for people to know about the food industry on how much she lures people. Author Michael Moss conducted an interview to convince readers that Junk food is harmful. All logos, beautiful stickers, look, taste all lead to world obesity.

The article was written in order for people to know how the products were formulated and how people began to buy them.

Moss talks about products and drinks such as Dr. Pepper, spaghetti sauce “”Prego””, “”Lunchables”” with desert, extension of the line for potato chips “”Lays”” These products are the most popular in the market “”Salt, sugar, fat”” and it was published by Moss””. People were addicted to these products. . The Moss article begins with a repetition of a one-day meeting in 1999 of the main leaders of the food industry the purpose of this meeting was to discuss the growth of the obesity epidemic.

In the presentation Michael Mudd who was president of global corporate affairs for Kraft foods, it was suggested that high rates of childhood and adult obesity were due in part to the food supply of large food companies. Mr. Mudd suggested that one way to combat obesity was to reduce the amount of salt, fat and sugar in their products and to distract them from advertising packaged foods and first-line products. However, later at the same meeting, Stephen Sanger, CEO of General Mills, pointed out that “”General Mills will not change course”” and that he will not change the recipes that were formulated. The possibility that large food companies will play a role in the fight against the obesity epidemic.

Dr Pepper a carbonated drink was one of the most popular drinks on the market. This drink attracted all customers because it was not usual color and pleasant to taste. In the article, Moss asked questions about Reissner’s drink. Pepper and he say that if in a drink they added to more ingredients then it would be darker and the buyer will repel. Also in the article it is said about the ingredients in this drink what are the important details when making any product.

Howard Moskovitz was the first scientist who understood the financial potential of this phenomenon and changed the way we eat and choose products. Moskowitz understood how companies will sell much more soda, chips and desserts; he will be able to pinpoint the blissful point for sugar in each of these products. Now this condition for creating new products is already considered a common place, so our love for chips and soda for manufacturing companies is only a natural consequence of the work of their food technologists.

The article “”The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food”” confirms that the food industry must be shortened in the epidemic of obesity. Many companies around the world in the industry consciously continue to sell and create unhealthy products for people. I believe that the article is written for people so that everyone knows what he is buying and what he is using. The article is very useful for people since not everyone knows from what this product is created as it delays people. Each person buys products despite the composition but almost 99% of people look at the packaging and appearance of the product.
