Fast Food Ingredients Revealed: What Are You Eating? by Mel Weinstein
Mel Weinstein is a retired chemist currently living in Decatur. During the course of his professional career, he taught chemistry at Richland Community College for 10 years, spent over 20 years as an analytical chemist in the research center of Tate & Lyle (formerly A.E. Staley Company), and studied food science at the graduate level at the University of Illinois (Urbana). For many years, he has had an interest in informing the public about industrial ingredients found in ultra-processed foods, as well as the relationship between a diet rich in those foods and adverse health outcomes. To further that cause, in 2016 he started a podcast called “Food Labels Revealed,” which eventually led to his investigation of ingredients in fast foods.
