About
"Our most powerful tool to reverse the global epidemic of chronic disease, heal the environment, reform politics, and revive economies is food. In Food Fix, #1 bestselling author Mark Hyman explains how our food and agriculture policies are unfairly influenced 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 provides solutions for citizens, businesses, and policymakers to create a healthier world, society, and planet." --book jacket.
