Consider Salt Sugar Fat by Michael Moss. Recommended by 3 sources.
“Salt Sugar Fat reads like long-form investigative journalism. It connects lab tricks, marketing tactics, and calorie-saturated products to explain why processed foods dominate modern diets. Its most useful material is the reportage: clear data, factory and industry anecdotes, and concrete examples that help you spot engineered palatability. Limitations: the narrative repeats similar revelations and sometimes tilts toward indignation rather than solutions, so readers wanting short how-to guidance or tight summarization may find it drawn-out.”
