Informative.
This book made me think a little differently about something I take for granted! This was less about dieting and healthy eating, and much more about the processes of production and distribution of food. I found it very interesting. I've long thought that the food we eat today is NOT the food my parents and grandparents ate, and this book confirms that for me. Clearly it is time to take a much closer look at public policy as regards our food supply. I'm thinking food gardening will be my next adventure.

sellers great and book great
bought i t used so sellers was fast and good. Book is real good. It lays out how corrupt the food system is and how the goverment spends so much on sugar filled food and so little on nutrient packed foods.

Educational but not strictly about diet - Pros & Cons below
I would give this book a 4-star rating simply because it was educational and different than what I expected. The content of this book caught me by surprise and I was able to finish the book in 2 days.A great deal of research has been done on the food industry and how politics play a huge role in agriculture. Even though we all might have an idea of how the government and big food companies have ruined our health and our planet, I thought it was still worth reading. I enjoyed reading about poverty and racism (chapter IV)I did not learn anything new about the plant-rich diet or what type of meat I should be eating. If you own any other Hyman's book, think of this book as a prequel to that book. This book isn't about what we should eat it's about why we eat the food we eat that's killing us and killing our planet(see the attached table of contents of this book)ProsVery light, great for carry-on bagsSimple writing, easy to understand, fast read booksummary of a bunch of scholarly journalsConsFood fix sounded like mostly about diet and meal plans but it's not

buy it. it is an eye opener
saw this book somewhere that someone recommended. it legit makes me angry. i am not political but this got my gears grinding about our food and how it is marketed. I almost did not want to put it down and it got me talking about a lot of things to my peers....

Covers a lot of ground, accurate, succinct, and wide-reaching, an important topic
As i have studied most of what is in the book for decades, I must say that this book has a wide scope, and if it doesn't depress you to the level of becoming comatose, I think there is a lot here to work towards a better planet, and better health. For someone who is not familiar with many of these topics, it is easy to understand and an eye-opener. I believe many of us would do well to study this book in detail. It is definitely a very useful read.

Climate Change—Really
Dr Hyman presents very interesting and compelling information in the realm of food and health. But his detour to a subject that he is completely unqualified—climate science, destroyed his credibility for me. He is asking us to challenge our acceptance of conventional healthcare, but he regurgitates the conventional views on climate change. He should have consulted credible scientists like Dr. Richard Lindzen, Dr. Judith Curry, Dr Steven Koonin and many others, instead of Dr James Hanson. This last chapter (17) basically destroyed his credibility as someone who I should listen to in his area of expertise since he was willing to push ridiculous theories on the Climate and how we can “save the planet” for which he is utterly unqualified to assess and recommend.

El autor logrò un excelente research de toda la info que podría servir para resolver el gran problema de la sociedad Norteamericana y la Salud, la Seguridad Alimentaria y la desigualdad en este aspecto tan importante en la vida de todos los Norteamericanos..Que sirva esto de ejemplo para q otros autores en otros países se sumen a la gran responsabilidad de cambios en los sistemas gubernamentales en pro de la Salud, sistemas alimentarios y adecuaciones y leyes q fomenten progreso y bienestar para la población
