From the Atlantic expose:

"What may surprise you is the food industry's role in manipulating our eating habits and undermining the most determined of our New Year's resolutions to lose weight.

Writing in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Koplan and Kelly Brownell, from Yale University's Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, observed: "Billions of dollars have been spent convincing individuals (children in particular) that highly sweetened beverages and cereals, salty snack foods, and a vast array of products high in fat, sugar, and salt are fun, athletic, sexy, popular, healthy, and even have beneficial properties."

Geralyn Spollett calls the ramped-up fat, salt, and sugar the food industry's "Golden Triangle." The American Diabetes Association president said: "You get enough fat, salt, and sugar in something and people will crave it." In fact, a 2009 Scripps Research Institute study found that over-consumption of fast food "triggers addiction-like neuroaddictive responses."
