Not only that, the amount of salt and fat and other stuff in food is highly tuned to maximize input at a physiological and psychological level.

Doritos have enough salt and taste to make you want more (and not just a desire level, but at a biological level), but they purposely keep the taste level down enough to prevent the brain from triggering the part that says "I've eaten enough".

I've read some of what that book covers and I've got the audiobook to listen to in my list.

That's why something like this I think is a good idea because the food makers doing what they do is a public health level issue.
