Here's a link to a very interesting article on convenience food and snack food and etc. It helped me look completely differently at chips, breakfast food, snack food - anything that has multiple lists of ingredients. Here's one quote from the article:

"Salt, sugar and fat are the three pillars of the processed food industry," Michael Moss said. "And while the industry hates the world 'addiction' more than any other word, the fact of the matter is, their research has shown them that when they hit the very perfect amounts of each of those ingredients … they will have us buy more, eat more."
