About the book-
Food is our most powerful tool to reverse the global epidemic of chronic disease, heal the environment, reform politics, and revive economies. What we eat has tremendous implications not just for our waistlines, but also for the planet, society, and the global economy. What we do to our bodies, we do to the planet; and what we do to the planet, we do to our bodies.
In Food Fix, #1 bestselling author Mark Hyman explains how our food and agriculture policies are corrupted by money and lobbies that drive our biggest global crises: the spread of obesity and food-related chronic disease, climate change, poverty, violence, educational achievement gaps, and more.
Pairing the latest developments in nutritional and environmental science with an unflinching look at the dark realities of the global food system and the policies that make it possible, Food Fix is a hard-hitting manifesto that will change the way you think about -- and eat -- food forever, and will provide solutions for citizens, businesses, and policy makers to create a healthier world, society, and planet.
My thoughts-
Dr. Hyman is one of my favorite people in the field of medicine. He is not afraid to share the truth of things and I appreciate that. The Food Fix offers some great information for people who don't know a lot about the utter disaster that our "food" system is in the United States and how it directly correlates to the massive obesity epidemic we are suffering from. He offers a great deal of information with sources to back it up. After explaining the issues Dr. Hyman suggests ways we as individuals can help these issues and take care of ourselves, as well as what kind of steps would be great as a nation to take if we can ever get there. I think every single person should read this book to better understand exactly how addicted the food industy has us to their products. It is worth the read to be more informed and to make better decisions for ourselves and our families.
