HABIT FORMING | How Big Tobacco Spoiled Our Food | RegWatch

It’s surprising to learn that the largest food companies in the world were once owned by big tobacco. During the 1980s through the early 2000s, tobacco giants Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds acquired and operated Kraft, General Foods, and Nabisco, generating billions in revenue from well-known brands like Oreo cookies, Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, and Lunchables. When big tobacco controlled these food giants, rates of obesity, diabetes, and other diet-related diseases surged across the West. This has led many to ask: Did big tobacco apply its expertise in making cigarettes more addictive to the engineering of processed foods? Joining us today to explore this question is Dr. Tera Fazzino, Associate Director of the Cofrin Logan Center for Addiction Research and Treatment at the University of Kansas. Her ground-breaking research into “hyper-palatable” foods sheds light on how big tobacco may have spoiled the American food supply. Did big tobacco make food addictive?
