Fast Food Genocide: How Processed Food Is Killing Us and What We Can Do about It by Joel Fuhrman, Robert Phillips

4.0

Beyond simply telling us that fast food is bad, this book goes way beyond that. It makes several interesting points about how poor nutrition was the catalyst to past negative events. It never occurred to me that nutrition could be so closely tied to scary parts of our history. That aside, I enjoyed this book because it is the closest thing I can find to the food program I follow for myself. I needed to lose weight last year and did so by eating a mostly plant-based food regiment and watching my portions. I never heard of G-BOMBS before, but that's what I eat most of the time! So, the author is preaching to the choir here, but I can validate that it works. I feel good and find the food I eat to be satisfying. Even better, I can sustain eating this way over a long period of time (going on over a year now.) Good stuff. I look forward to reading more of his work.
