Is Junk Food More Addictive Than Cigarettes and Drugs? | Amanpour and Company

A recent global survey showed that the pandemic and lockdowns have led many to cut back on exercise and eat more junk food. What do all these indulgent snacks actually contain? Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Michael Moss focuses on the food industry and explores our proclivity for junk food in his latest book, “Hooked: Food, Free Will and How the Food Giants Exploit Our Addictions." He speaks with Hari Sreenivasan about what should be ringing our alarm bells, food-wise.
