Death by Food Pyramid

Shoddy science, sketchy politics, and shady special interests have shaped American dietary recommendations--and destroyed our nation's health--over recent decades. The phrase "death by food pyramid" isn't shock-value sensationalism, but the tragic consequence of following federal advice and corporate manipulation in pursuit of health. InÂ Death by Food Pyramid,Â Denise Minger exposes the forces that overrode common sense and solid science to launch a pyramid phenomenon that bled far beyond US borders to taint the eating habits of the entire developed world. Minger explores how generations of flawed pyramids and plates endure as part of the national consciousness, and how the "one-size-fits-all" diet mentality these icons convey pushes us deeper into the throes of obesity and disease. Regardless of whether you're an omnivore or vegan, researchÂ junkie or science-phobe,Â health novice or seasoned dieter,Â Death by Food PyramidÂ will reframe your understanding of nutritional science--and inspire you to take your health, and your future, into your own hands.
