Food Fix: How to Save Our Health, Our Economy, Our Communities and Our Planet – One Bite at a Time

Product Information

The book has 5 parts and 17 chapters which talk about different problems related to food and create big picture in front of us to show how the food comes to us from farm to the plate.

The bit about the soils going dead got my attention, but forecasting anything 60 years from now is next to impossible. Slowly heat the garlic and oil over a very low temperature so that the flavor of the garlic will infuse the oil as it is cooking. Writing my own “recipe for reinvention,” I decided it was time for me to follow my life-long passion for great food and cooking, and to make this “second course” of my life into a sumptuous feast!

We should follow Janice’s lead, change our eating habits and take this way of eating into our world. Hyman deftly connects the dots between education, health, climate science, and the food we eat every day, showing that the choices we make about the food we put on our plates has consequences that ripple around the world. I love that he isn't in one or another "camp" -- he doesn't tell you to go vegan or paleo or support one agenda or another. Few issues are as important as the food the world grows, transports, wastes, and consumes, and few people can capture this picture, and can be as creative with solutions as Mark Hyman.

While some of the proposals to change our food system are controversial, the book represents one of the first substantive and thoughtful attempts to tie the often stove-piped subjects of food, medicine, health, and sustainable agriculture into a holistic approach to feed a hungry and healthy global population. He is also the founder and medical director of The UltraWellness Center, chairman of the board of the Institute for Functional Medicine, a medical editor of The Huffington Post, and was a regular medical contributor on many television shows including CBS This Morning, Today Show, CNN, and The View, Katie, and The Dr.He is the winner of the Linus Pauling Award, The Nantucket Project Award, and was inducted in the Books for Better Life Hall of Fame. Our most powerful tool to reverse the global epidemic of chronic disease, heal the environment, reform politics, and revive economies is food. He cited some expert somewhere in there that the mess cannot be fixed by consumer food choices alone, which since I am not in a position to get into politics right now, is about all I've got in my arsenal to fight for what is right in this situation. What we eat has tremendous implications not just for our waistlines, but also for the planet, society, and the global economy. Hyman does a great job giving equal focus to the economic, human health, and planetary health issues associated with our current food industry.
