The book Salt, Sugar, and Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us discusses the danger of food with its readers. The food dangers discussed in the book are the salt, sugar, and fat ingredients found in the food that people consume on a daily basis. Manufacturers use these ingredients to their advantage to get the point of consumer happiness. The point of happiness reached is used by food giants to make a profit. However, due to research into the health risks of these ingredients, food companies are devising strategies to maintain their profits and earn more. In chapter nine the author informs readers about the Oscar Mayer company. Oscar Mayer is known for his Bolognese and famous Lunchables. Bologna is a product rich in salt and saturated fats. Bologna was losing appeal due to the health risks associated with it. The health risks associated with bologna are heart attacks and strokes. The Oscar Mayer company created a low-fat bolognese and marketed the bolognese product, however the profit made was decreasing.

A great example in chapter eleven is the Kraft Company. The Kraft Company says they want to reduce the amount of salt, sugar and fat in their products. On the other hand, Kraft creates new products with higher amounts of these ingredients. Many companies say they try to satisfy consumer desires. This idea is wrong. Consumers study what our bodies crave and use it against us.
