Description
An indispensable guide to food, our most powerful tool to reverse the global epidemic of chronic disease, heal the environment, reform politics, and revive economies, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Mark Hyman, MD—"Read this book if you're ready to change the world" (Tim Ryan, US Representative).
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.

        February 15, 2020
        The food industry, like corporate agriculture, is big business, and Hyman (Food: What the Heck Should I Eat?, 2018) takes aim at the structures responsible for selling cheap, high-calorie, manufactured food that's not only low in nutrients, but also responsible for diabetes, heart disease, some cancers, and other health problems. Such problems are epidemic in low-income communities, where access to fresher, better quality food can be nearly impossible to secure, much less afford. Beyond simply decrying such ills, Hyman offers "food fixes" like outlining policy changes for SNAP benefits and calling on the FDA to make policies that will benefit people, not corporations. A chapter on "Why Agriculture Matters," which includes the history of farming, is especially strong. This book is wide-ranging and far-reaching in scope, and key points are often reiterated throughout a chapter. This is a must-read for anyone interested in learning how "disjointed food policies are driving a disease-creating economy," and what can be done about it. Fans of Michael Pollan and Vani Hari will want to check it out, too.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
