Sugar, Salt, & Fat

I am almost finished reading the excellent book, Scientific Advances Regarding: Sugar, Salt, & Fat, 2nd edition, by Gina Willett, Ph.D., R.D. It's an easy-to-read book that affirms what many intuitively know--that the obesity epidemic is not so much Americans' lack of willpower as the big food companies doing whatever they can to maximize profits, including making foods at least quasi-addictive.

There are good, practical suggestions in the book on ways to mitigate the onslaught of highly-palatable foods and many references to back up her statements. It's an excellent start for people who want to try to have a slimmer waistline and live a longer life.
