Yellow Kite Metabolical: The truth about processed food and how it poisons people and the planet

Another must-read book by Robert Lustig. If you want to know about how the food industry (Big Food), the pharmaceutical industry (Big Pharma) and various medical bodies and governments collude to deceive us, whether deliberately or otherwise ( you'll be able to judge for yourself) the sad truth is that our food is polluted and it's polluting us - but you can do something about it! A good place to start would be with readingthis book, which is informative and clearly written. And fascinating! Take it to heart (pun intended) and you may do yourself the best favour healthwise that you could do. Genuinely essential reading.

This book really does it take a tin-opener to the relationship between the global food supply-chain and the indisputable increase in ill-health we are experiencing across the globe. Never have we had so many calories available to us, yet never have we had such a steep increase in noncommunicable disease. With this in mind it would be irresponsible of us not to at least seek to examine the relationships between Big Food and illness. Lustig points out in a very lucid way that whatever our opinions about what a ‘good’ diet may be, an awful lot of people are making an awful lot of money out of feeding us processed food filled with sugar and chemicals. Are these people really our friends? Possibly not entirely…

This is all about the US whose food industry differs a lot from the UK so not much help.

Loving this book, really informative. Has anyone else found an overtyped line on page 176 in the paragraph about sugar? I can't read the words between 'Which means you......and vampires'. Has the book been knobbled by the ultra processed food industry?

Excellent read
