Purdue University’s Richard Mattes chats with consulting nutrition scientist Lisa Sanders about the concept of hyper-palatability—foods designed with specific combinations of fat, sugar, and salt that may override natural satiety signals—and discuss what makes a food hyperpalatable, how researchers identify and test for it, and whether evidence exists linking hyperpalatable foods to increased consumption and poor health outcomes. Packaging expert and contributing editor Claire Koelsch Sand about why reuse is worth reconsidering as the industry struggles to keep pace with the demand for more sustainable packaging.
