And at first, I was totally skeptical about that. MICHAEL MOSS: I came to this idea of looking at food from a standpoint of speed by looking at this question of whether we should be thinking about processed food as being addictive, like some drugs. And that doesn’t just concern the speed of service in restaurants! What other things should we be taking into consideration when we conceptualize fast food? Reaction time There are so many other ways in which our food has become faster in recent decades. But a conception of fast food based on the McDonald’s business model is limiting. SLOW FOOD: The Slow Food movement, which organizes Terra Madre, was founded in opposition to fast food culture. We caught up with Michael Moss to discuss packaging, marketing and what both fast and slow food mean. He’s also one of the speakers at You, Me, and Us, a conference to discuss the impact we can have on the food system through our choices. Today we’re talking to Michael Moss, author of two books about the food industry: Salt Sugar Fat (2013), and Hooked: Food, Free Will, and how the Food Giants Exploit Our Addictions (2021).
