February 2015
I have read many food books (In Defense of Food Micheal Pollan, Foodopoly by Wenonah Hauter, The China Study by Collin Campbell, The Optimum Nutrition Bible by Patrick Holford) and right now I am reading The Food Babe Way by Vani Hari, which just came out in stores on February 10. It is an incredible book. I admire and look up to Hari from having followed her blog for the last few months, foodbabe.com. She is a food activist, investigating how the food industry dupes consumers about what's in their food, how our food is processed, and what is actually good for us. Not only is she extremely wise and knowledgeable about her field, but her book is easy to follow and includes a 21-Day Guide that lays out all the steps to take to transform your life and make lasting, healthy habits.
There is no doubt that trying to navigate the health world is overwhelming. Hari takes all this information and presents it in a simple, straightforward way. She makes it substantially easier, especially for a beginner. EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS BOOK.
As you would imagine, this book's success will influence the market. The more people who follow the guide in this book, the less money the major food corporations are going to make. That is why, right now, The Food Babe Way is under attack on Amazon.com because people are creating multiple accounts to deliberately write as many one-star reviews as they can. These are people who have never read the book and who work for the corporations. They don't want people knowing what is in their food. Please, if anyone is reading this, do the world a favor and go to Amazon, get this book, read it, and post an honest review. The important information presented in this amazing book NEEDS to get out.
