Our food—even what we're told is good for us—has changed for the worse in the past 100 years, its nutritional content deteriorating due to industrial farming and its composition altered due to the addition of thousands of chemicals from pesticides to packaging. We simply no longer know what we’re eating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eFormerly Known as Food\u003c\/i\u003e, Kristin Lawless argues that, because of the degradation of our diet, our bodies are literally changing from the inside out. The billion-dollar food industry is reshaping our food preferences, altering our brains, changing the composition of our microbiota, and even affecting the expression of our genes. Lawless chronicles how this is happening and what it means for our bodies, health, and survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn independent journalist and nutrition expert, Lawless is emerging as the voice of a new generation of food thinkers. After years of \"eat this, not that\" advice from doctors, journalists, and food faddists, she offers something completely different. Lawless presents a comprehensive explanation of the problem—going beyond nutrition to issues of food choice, class, race, and gender—and provides a sound and simple philosophy of eating, which she calls the \"Whole Egg Theory.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDestined to set the debate over food politics for the next decade, \u003ci\u003eFormerly Known as Food \u003c\/i\u003espeaks to a new generation looking for a different conversation about the food on our plates.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49380388962608,"sku":"BDcc7d","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [40]","offer_id":49380389028144,"sku":"40cc7d","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/292230-cc7d-Square.jpg?v=1734997914","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-cc7d","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
