Across the modern food landscape, a quiet transformation has taken place: the industrial logic that once engineered cigarettes for compulsion has been applied to the foods that sustain us, and now to products far beyond the grocery aisle. Researchers are divided on whether the harm lies in how food is processed or in what it contains, but both questions point toward the same unsettling truth — that much of what people consume daily was designed not for nourishment, but for repeat purchase.
