Most restaurant meals look harmless—even “healthy.” The lighting is soft, the menu promises fresh and grilled, and you honestly feel like you’re trying. But behind the photos and friendly servers, a second kitchen is quietly running your life.

In Poisoned at the Restaurant: What Restaurants Really Feed You and How to Take One Meal Back, home inspector and health investigator Marko Vovk pulls back the curtain on what actually happens between the truck and your table. He shows how fast‑food windows, chain dining rooms, cafeterias, and even “nice” sit‑down places rely on the same industrial system: factory meat, ultra‑processed starches, industrial seed oils, pesticide‑treated produce, and an alphabet of additives the menu never mentions.

Through vivid stories—including the morning a simple bowl of cereal led to tingling, “cotton” feet at an Amish produce auction—Vovk connects everyday plates to very real problems: gout flares, numb toes, brain fog, blood sugar swings, stubborn weight, “normal” lab tests that keep getting worse, and the slow drift into “just getting older.”

This book is not about perfection or fear. It is about seeing clearly and taking back control one meal at a time. Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Recognize the “second kitchen” hiding in restaurants, cafeterias, drive‑throughs, and even your own pantry

• Decode menus, photos, and “healthy” claims so you can spot sugar, starch, seed oils, and chemical traps before they hit your bloodstream

• Understand how roller‑coaster blood sugar batters joints, nerves, and mood—and how small changes smooth that ride

• Turn some of your backyard grass into a simple garden so at least part of your plate comes from soil you trust

• Build a realistic plan where restaurants become occasional entertainment, not your main fuel

If your body has been sending quiet warnings—tingling toes, crashes, heartburn, fog, stiff mornings, “mystery” aches—Poisoned at the Restaurant will help you see those signals as messages, not bad luck, and show you how to answer them without giving up real life.
