This is a frightening indictment of the Big Food industries that have taken over everything that we eat, no matter how careful we are. She manages to explore the long list of unexamined (and unpronounceable) chemicals in our food into a personal narrative that kept me reading.Her interviews with scientists and reviews of the latest scientific findings are eye-opening.While she condemns all the social and economic factors that make it difficult to spend the time and money to eat better, she doesn't fault us as consumers. Her prescriptions for making ourselves and our society healthier will require some heavy lifting, but as she notes, it's that kind of public pressure that ultimately reduced the influence of Big Tobacco.Read this if you care about your own health, and that of your children and grandchildren.
I read the book for the most up-to-date information to help me understand what I have been observing as a medical professional.....In recent years, things have perplexed me: hidden/renamed/non-labeled toxic chemicals remain in our food, increased obesity for all ages despite having a more clean/veggie diet, and the increased "requirement" for physical fitness just to maintain body physique as well as other countries not allowing our wheat or meat products into their country due to GMOs and chemical additives. This book explains the toxic chemical additives, their effects and the permanent changes to our body as it tries to adapt to the consumed pollutants. Indigestion, lethargy, truly unexplained weight gain and the widely-practiced intermittent fasting just to feel better. Omit industrialized food = feel better but pay more and allow more time to prepare meals from raw ingredients.
Overall a great book: beautiful prose, thoroughly researched, deeply insightful. Ms. Lawless makes a forceful case about the significant deterioration of nutritional quality in the era of industrial farming, organic or otherwise. She spells out in detail the potential connections to certain disease states, and links declining food quality to the dramatic change in our gut flora. Her proposed remedies are radical and utopian, and many readers will find fault with them- as this one has. That is not to find fault with her book, because Formerly Known As Food has the virtue of expressing independent thoughts and ideas, something in short supply these days. Her views are provocative, and given the gravity of this crisis let us hope she succeeds in raising awareness and stimulating debate. Our health depends on it.
This book is a must read. I read part of it from a library book, but decided it is a book I will read multiple times. It is scary, just like Silent Spring (Ihope that was the title) because it puts our nose in all the dirt that is on our plates. The pesticides, the growth hormones, the nasty white fluid we call milk, the total mess in plastic boxes we call food. But is it? This book tells you. And it also tells you, that the people who should control it, do not do their jobs. All about the money, as always, and we, the consumers, are powerless against that. But at least, when warned, we can avoid a lot of the garbage that is being sold as food!
As a grumpy old nurse I checked almost every footnote. A font of knowledge that is changing the way I read labels and select food.
I've read a lot of books about food and I like the simplicity of this one,I agree that we need less GMO and more natural.The big question is how to reverse the damages already started.
While I'm a grow-your-own organic, natural foods from scratch, hippie vegetarian since the 70's, I had a hard time making it through this book. Although much of this information might be new for some readers, these are the reasons many of us changed our diets 40-plus years ago. These are the reasons many in my generation distrusted Big Ag and corporate America back then. We realized that corporations were taking over the food "industry", focusing on profits rather than the health and well being of the American people. The adulteration of our food system began over half-a-century ago after WWII, when the chemical companies found a way to use the surplus chemicals left over from the war by turning them into fertilizers, additives and preservatives. And, in the decades since the degradation of real food by these companies has only ramped up as Americans unquestioningly consume anything they manufacture and label "food".This book is all diatribe with no realistic solutions. Her manifesto requires legislation. Expecting change from a government which had been bought decades ago by Big Ag, Big Chem, Big Pharma, and Big Fuel is simply naïve. My generation learned that hard lesson only after years of protests, sit-ins and marches. When baby boomers became aware of the American food debacle we didn't sit around waiting for government or corporations to make the changes we thought necessary. We created our own food culture, which you can read about in Jonathan Kauffman's "Hippie Food: How Back-to-the-Landers, Longhairs, and Revolutionaries Changed The Way We Eat" and "Appetite for Change: How the Counterculture Took On the Food Industry" by Warren James Belasco. The organic farms, food co-ops, and natural food companies we created jump-started what remains a constantly growing alternative food system. And, even though Ms. Lawless doesn't seem to have much faith in that system, it really is the only hope for those of us who are unwilling to consume the standard American diet (SAD). With the current administration intending to roll back almost every environmental regulation the EPA ever put in place, trying to bring about change through Washington is futile. Our government no longer cares at all about the American people. Its all about money now, and will continue to be long into the distant future.Truth be told, only a small percentage of Americans actually even care about the food they eat, where it comes from, and how it is produced. All one has to do is look at American health statistics across all demographics. Those types of figures don't happen when people actually care about what they're eating. And, dare I mention the effects their choices are having on our environment? I often glance at the carts of other shoppers when I'm in the grocery store, as well as at the lunches of my co-workers. My female co-workers, especially, tend to look to the latest fad diets for "sound nutritional information". With all of the health and environmental information available now on so many types of media, their choices are definitely more willful apathy than blissful ignorance. At this point the only realistic solution for those of us who do care is taking personal responsibility (which many seem unable to do in our current culture) for what we put on our plates and in our bodies. As we used to say, "the personal is political".PS. - 8/17/18 - I've just done some reading on Ms. Lawless' website and fail to find a consistent viewpoint in her posts that makes sense for both human and environmental health. She rails against the dyes used in farm-raised salmon, as well as the effects these farms have on the oceans. Yet, she tells us that it is perfectly fine to eat bacon. In my opinion, there is no difference between the environmental nightmare caused by farm raising fish or that of raising and slaughtering pigs en masse to produce "pork" products (organic or not).
This information is so well researched and it is so vital that everyone should read this book. Although distressing, it is a starting point from which we can work to help ourselves. Her recommendations regarding our food system are very pertinent and her comments with regard to women's roles undergird a true feminist movement which strives to centralize the role of the food provider and their key role in health maintenance.
