Summertime 2010 Book Review Series: ‘Big Fat Lies’ By Hannah Sutter

Filed under: Books,Review — @ July 3, 2010

Books, books, and more books! I got ‘em coming out of my ears for the Summer of 2010, so I’m doing this special series of reviews of the newest and best low-carb, health, and nutrition books that you may want to take a closer look at. Many of the authors of the featured books are scheduled to be guests on my podcast show in the coming months. My goal is to try to feature at least one new book review a day, every day all summer long. There’s a lot of great stuff out there you need to know about and I can’t wait for you to see what all is available! ENJOY!

It all seems to make sense to the government health authorities who encourage citizens to eat less, exercise more, cut the fat and calories, eat more fruits and vegetables and all will be happy and healthy for life. Wellllll, not exactly. Although we’ve had this very advice pretty much shoved down our proverbial throats for nearly four decades, what has been the result? MORE obesity, MORE diabetes, MORE heart disease, MORE chronic disease than ever before in the history of the world. They say insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. And this business that a low-fat, high-carb, vegetarian diet is the only way to produce optimal health is just about as insane as it gets. That’s why it’s good to know there are people like Hannah Sutter out there exposing the nutritional scam that is being perpetrated on innocent people worldwide. She hits this subject square between the eyes in her book Big Fat Lies: Is Your Government Making You Fat?.
