The right food can help a person feel better, lose weight, or have more energy. But can the choice of foodstuffs consumed make a difference to the economy, to communities, or the health of planet Earth? That’s the premise of this book by functional medicine physician and author Mark Hyman.
“Our most powerful tool to reverse the global epidemic of chronic disease, heal the environment, reform politics, address social injustice, and revive economies is food,” he claims.
While most of this book details the damages of processed foods, factory farms, “Big Food,” and compromised government agencies, it also offers “food fixes” for personal changes that will improve the health of the individual, the community, and perhaps even the planet.
