Publisher's summary

An indispensable guide to food, our most powerful tool to reverse the global epidemic of chronic disease, heal the environment, reform politics, and revive economies, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Mark Hyman, MD—"Read this book if you're ready to change the world" (Tim Ryan, US Representative).

What we eat has tremendous implications not just for our waistlines, but also for the planet, society, and the global economy. What we do to our bodies, we do to the planet; and what we do to the planet, we do to our bodies.

In Food Fix, #1 bestselling author Mark Hyman explains how our food and agriculture policies are corrupted 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 will change the way you think about—and eat—food forever, and will provide solutions for citizens, businesses, and policy makers to create a healthier world, society, and planet.

Dr. Hyman for president!

I have followed Dr.Hyman for years and have always loved what he stands for. This book was the most eye opening book I have ever listened to. Dr. Hyman gets what it’s going to take to get our country to where it needs to be. Our government has been focused on the wrong things for too long and we need a change. If Dr. Hyman ran for president, I would vote for him! Thank you for writing this book!

The Whole Story on Global Food

Great read, excellent resource links, factual and enlightening!

Well worth anybody time, and ours as a species is running out.

Global Warming reversed by the Family Farmers

Not what I expected. I learned that we can save ourselves, ourselves. Do you remember Whole Earth Catalog? Hippies and saving Mother Earth? Jeese, it has taken us a long time to figure out something we knew from third grade. Photosynthesis grabs carbon out of the air and puts it back where it should be. Thanks for grounding your argument with facts about tonnage and dollars.

Great book!

Really good information and facts. Highly recommend this book to anyone interested in their health.

Healthier everything with your actions

I loved this book by chapter 2, I started composting. By chapter 8, I ordered “What The Heck Should I Eat” the cookbook. Starting, learning more every day. Voting with my dollar buying local grass fed, and organic.
