Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us (New Book!)

I recently found a new book at the library called, you guessed it,  Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us. It was written by Michael Moss, who "was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for explanatory reporting in 2010, and was a finalist for the prize in 2006 and 1999. He is also the recipient of a Loeb Award and an Overseas Press Club citation. Before coming to the [New York] Times,he was a reporter for The Wall Street Journal, New York Newsday, and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He has been an adjunct professor at the Columbia School of Journalism and currently lives in Brooklyn with his wife and two sons." At least that's what his bio says on his website. I must admit though, his writing is pretty cool. I'm really curious about how Moss will present the information in this book. Most non-fiction writing that I've read has been based on anecdotes, and I actually like that. I'd rather not read a long, monotonous (Yeah, yeah, I know the book's not talking, but you know what I mean.) essay about why monkeys eat bananas. I mean, there are so many better ways to present factual evidence. Let's see Moss' non-fiction prowess....
