解析：题干问莫斯认为加工食品与酒精、香烟在哪些方面相似。答案句明确指出加工食品“is engineered to hook you”，即被设计成让你上瘾，与酒精、香烟等有害物质类似。“hook”意为“使上瘾”，与选项A“addictive”（上瘾的）构成同义改写。选项B“必要的恶”、C“被设计成令人享受”、D“需求日益增长”在原文中均无依据，属于无中生有。

参考译文：如今，越来越多的人关心自己摄入的食物，想要吃得更健康，这些公司发现很难满足这一新需求，因为他们自己对制作这些方便食品上瘾。
定位线索：题干“difficult to satisfy consumers' demand for healthier food”→答案句“difficult to meet that new demand”；文中“their own addiction to making these convenience foods”对应选项D“They are hooked on manufacturing convenience foods”。
