"Extremely thorough research, almost to the point of redundancy, powerful and depressing info about the state of our food system's entanglement with industry and government."
"B Interesting background on how the food industry shapes what we eat, what we THINK is healthy, what we eat, and what gets pushed out there. Really informative abt how money controls everything, even preventing the truth from emerging."
"If you've lived in a cave for a couple decades, sequestered from any contact with the food industry or experts thereupon, this may be interesting to you."
"I really like this book. It talks about all the stupid stuff (due to lobbyists) that goes into creating the food guide instead of the things that should. This book is very well written and fast read."
