David Kesseler, former head of FDA, has published a book called "Frankenfood" (probably very much like "Fast Food Nation") which I'll be reading soon. Here's how one reviewer summarized Kesseler's main message:
About foods such as TGIFridays Parmesan-Crusted Sicilian Quesadilla, pictured above: such foods are " 'hyperpalatable' concoctions [that]...artfully layer fat on sugar on salt on fat to trigger a release of the brain chemical dopamine, leading to a kind of 'conditioned hypereating.' "

The restaurants are required to post calorie counts here now! Many are slow to comply. I wonder how many this monstrosity has!
