Health expert Vinnie Tortorich exposes the history behind myths and lies regarding healthy eating, fat and weight loss.
Fattells the far-fetched but completely true history of how the United States became so unhealthy.
In 1970, just over 1.5 million people had been diagnosed with diabetes in the United States. Now over 30 million have diabetes. What's even more alarming is that 100 million people, 1 in 3, have diabetes or are pre-diabetic. This is not to mention the 40% of the population that are obese. How is this possible with the non-stop flow of new diets, exercise machines and our general obsession with health and weight loss? We're as unhealthy as ever. The truth is that we have pretty much had everything completely upside-down and backwards.
Fat traces a detailed history spanning 150 years to show how misinformation and outright lies have become ‘truth’.
"Similar in premise to Super Size Me and is just as funny but with a very different ending."
