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

Perfect case for my daughter’s iPad
Color: Purple Pink
bought this case for my daughter. The fit is perfect — all the buttons and camera line up exactly and it snaps on securely. The case feels sturdy, protective, and durable but not too heavy, so she can still carry it comfortably. The stand feature is convenient. The design is also super cute — Luna loves it Overall, great quality for the price. I would definitely buy it again

Perfect case
Color: Purple Pink
Great protection for my IPad. I’m always dropping something. This case was pretty easy to install and has the protection over the glass front. No problem using the iPad with the cover. Cute colors and has a loop to store the pen

Very versatile!
Color: Colorful Pink
I got this iPad case for myself and my two year-old daughter as we both use this iPad. This case has definitely held up very well. I love the material because it’s nonslip so it’s easy for my two-year-old to hold I also love the movable and adjustable prop on the back that also doubles as a handle. There is two spots to put your Apple Pencil, so that’s very neat. It is a little bit bulky, but it is very protective and I think that is a good trade-off. There is also a cover for the charging port to prevent dust from getting in there or any spills. At first I was a little bit weary about it having a built-in screen protector, but it’s very clear and does not interfere with using the screen at all, so it’s actually a nice touch. I really love this thing and think it is worth it!
