NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY
The Atlantic - The Huffington Post - Men's Journal - MSN (U.K.) - Kirkus Reviews - Publishers Weekly

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - WINNER OF THE JAMES BEARD FOUNDATION AWARD FOR WRITING AND LITERATURE

Every year, the average American eats thirty-three pounds of cheese and seventy pounds of sugar. Every day, we ingest 8,500 milligrams of salt, double the recommended amount, almost none of which comes from the shakers on our table. It comes from processed food, an industry that hauls in $1 trillion in annual sales. In Salt Sugar Fat, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Michael Moss shows how we ended up here. Featuring examples from Kraft, Coca-Cola, Lunchables, Frito-Lay, Nestl , Oreos, Capri Sun, and many more, Moss's explosive, empowering narrative is grounded in meticulous, eye-opening research. He takes us into labs where scientists calculate the "bliss point" of sugary beverages, unearths marketing techniques taken straight from tobacco company playbooks, and talks to concerned insiders who make startling confessions. Just as millions of "heavy users" are addicted to salt, sugar, and fat, so too are the companies that peddle them. You will never look at a nutrition label the same way again.

Praise for Salt Sugar Fat

" Michael] Moss has written a Fast Food Nation for the processed food industry. Burrowing deep inside the big food manufacturers, he discovered how junk food is formulated to make us eat more of it and, he argues persuasively, actually to addict us."--Michael Pollan

"If you had any doubt as to the food industry's complicity in our obesity epidemic, it will evaporate when you read this book."--The Washington Post

"Vital reading for the discerning food consumer."--The Wall Street Journal

"The chilling story of how the food giants have seduced everyone in this country . . . Michael Moss understands a vital and terrifying truth: that we are not just eating fast food when we succumb to the siren song of sugar, fat, and salt. We are fundamentally changing our lives--and the world around us."--Alice Waters

"Propulsively written and] persuasively argued . . . an exactingly researched, deeply reported work of advocacy journalism."--The Boston Globe

"A remarkable accomplishment."--The New York Times Book Review

Stylish and eye-catching watch with great value
Color: blue watch for men
This watch looks much more premium than its price suggests. The blue dial combined with the two-tone stainless steel gives it a clean and elegant appearance, making it suitable for both formal and casual wear. The diamond accents add a nice touch without feeling overdone. The quartz movement keeps accurate time, and the date feature is convenient for daily use. The luminous hands are helpful in low-light conditions as well. The build quality feels solid, though the band may need adjustment for a perfect fit. Water resistance is fine for everyday situations like hand washing, but I wouldn’t rely on it for heavy water exposure. Overall, a good-looking and functional watch that offers excellent value for the price.

Great watch, would recommend
Color: blue watches 58, Color: blue watches 58
I really like this watch because it looks amazing. It’s much lighter than I expected, so it’s comfortable to wear all day at school without feeling heavy. When I first got it, the metal band was a little bit squeaky, but after wearing it for a while, the noise completely stopped. I had to remove a few links to make it fit my wrist, but the adjustment was actually really easy to do yourself. The clasp is great too it stays closed and it doesn’t pinch my skin at all. The blue and gold colors look awesome together, and it’s definitely a great watch for the price

My new favorite watch. Simple home improvement needed
Color: all black watch mens, Color: all black watch mens
Despite having many reknown brand watches in my collection, these inexpensive Olevs watches are now my favorite. They look nice, cost practically nothing and so far are very accurate (10 day review). Little to worry about if lost or damaged. PROS: 1. Inexpensive $40/each. 2. As stylish as other fashion watches 5x-10x more expensive. 3. Watch Crystal (i.e., glass) has a unique, faceted shape, which reflects light, feels "Manly" and matches faceted bezel. 4. Light weight and slim case; fits small wrists nicely (I have 6.4" wrists). 5. Accurate - two watches tracked over 10 days. Watch one: -7 seconds/10 days. Watch two: +2 seconds/10 days. 6. Illuminescent (i.e., glow-in-the-dark) hands and watch face look decent in dark. CONS: 7. Lightweight and cheap material - durability is questionable, especially coatings. 8. Bracelet/band links have excessive gaps to each other and rattle badly, making watch noisy and embarrassing. *Home fix* 9. Faceted Crystal can make it difficult to see exact time, because of light reflection. 10. Single clasp on bracelet could easily open inadvertently, vs double clasp. 11. Crown is not threaded and spins freely, even when closed (doesn't change time); likely poor water proofing and crown can easily open. 12. Difficult to set time accurately; crown movement is figity and closing crown can cause hands to easily move. 13. Second hand doesn't exactly line up with tick marks making it difficult to know if actual time is before, or after tick mark. *AT HOME FIX*: To fix the noisy bracelet, simply cut to length a piece of waterproof medical tape 15-16mm (5/8") wide, then attach to inside of clean bracelet, while spreading the links apart with your finger (i.e., stretch band). Do this on each bracelet, but don't cover clasp. Tape will need to be replaced, as it gets dirty, but it makes watch quiet. - Watch dimensions for collectors - A) Case Diameter (to Crown): 44mm B) Case Diameter: 42mm C) Lug-to-Lug length: 50.5mm D) Case Thickness (Top of Crystal): 12.6mm E) Strap/Bracelet Width at Case: 20mm F) Strap/Bracelet Width at Clasp: 18mm G) Weight 6.4" wrist size: 100g (3.5oz)
