While nutrition is still a major focus in Food Fix , he also encourages us to think about how our food is produced, prepared, and purchased. Definitely not a bad read if you want to make better informed food choices that ultimately impact everything at a large scale. A sobering reflection on norms and fads that seem sensible but when tested with recent scientific understanding and a holistic perspective, challenge conventional wisdom relating to health, nutrition and global warming.

Government support should help farmers convert to regenerative agriculture (which is actually more profitable, better for the land, and better for environment). It was different (more political/social) than I thought it would be, but not necessarily in a bad way. As Mark says: “The story of food shocked me, frightened me, and drove me to tell this story and to find the possibility of redemption from the broken system that is slowly destroying the people and things we love most.

Hyman's provocative perspective on the power of food to fix us and our planet is an influential read. Eggs are good, then they're bad, then they're good again, and now you have to know how they're raised.

Since Our healthcare system is so broken I decided years ago that We are on Our own so after years of collecting scientific data and puting this to practical use,,,, time to build a massive aquaponics project to feed the masses. years- that's all the time we have left according to this book, and the problems of soil loss, water depletion, and loss of biodiversity are the biggest threats for farming in the future. But even if you only believe half or a quarter of what is claimed, the situation is still very dire.It’s a rare thing if your grown child asks you to come and stay, so there was no way I was going to say anything but “yes” and do whatever I had to do to make it happen! Our most powerful tool to reverse the global epidemic of chronic disease, heal the environment, reform politics and revive economies is food.

A must read for anyone who wants to know more why our food and health system is broken and what to do about it. On the other hand, the food fix sections often felt like "avoid the previously discussed issues" and I would have skimmed through those parts if I read the actual book. Suddenly your mutual enthrallment with the royal doings of The Crown or the chaotic madness of Westworld unites you and whomever you are to talking with. Rinse under cold water just until the potatoes are cool enough to handle but still warm, about 10 seconds. The most subsidized companies and farmers are producing the foods that hurt us (government of the corporations, by the corporations, for the corporations).Hyman briefly summarizes his own dietary recommendations which line up pretty closely with other books I've read. Nobody does it better and it’s a great gift to those of us who try to keep up with food policy but live outside the Beltway.
