This book explores everything that has gone wrong with our modern food production and consumption approach. We examine the problems of modern industrialized agriculture, processed food, and food advertising; the ongoing lobbying wars controlling the information about the food provided to the public; and the relationship between diet and disease.

The reality of being a plus-sized person isn't that every moment of your life is about being plus-sized―it’s that you’re trying to live the same kind of complicated, exciting, fun, beautiful and difficult life as everyone else.

There is precisely zero evidence behind any aspect of this morality play, which is demolished by this book.
