You are what you eat, they say—but in today’s world, the food that we eat may be less our own choice than we like to think.

Enter Michael Moss, the bestselling author behind Salt Sugar Fat. In an incisive new investigation into major food companies, mass food production, food addiction and chemical manipulation, this Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist lays bare all the ways in which most of our food choices are made for us not on the principal of health or wellbeing, but chemically curated to manufacture addiction for profit. With all of the narrative force of the fictional Thank You For Smoking and the journalistic rigor we’ve come to expect from Moss, don’t miss the gripping exposé that has been praised by everyone from the San Francisco Chronicle and the New York Times to Mark Bittman and Charles Duhigg. In conversation with Angie Coiro, Michael Moss explains how the food industry has us all Hooked.

"Hooked shows how food manufacturers have taken advantage of our habits, our biology, our psychological quirks, and our ignorance to transform foods into addictive substances. He takes us into laboratories and courtrooms, kitchens and legislatures—and shows us how we can win our freedom back."

—Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit
