Have you ever wondered why dietary advice seems be changing all the time? Are you worried about calories, sugar, carbohydrates, gluten or saturated fats? Do you think you should be eating more protein? Are you concerned about your microbiome?
Why is nutritional science so fundamentally flawed? Why is it that so many people in Britain and around the world are getting sick and overweight as a result of diet? How do we go about making the best food choices, whatever our budget?
Can we feed a growing population without agrochemicals? Should we all go vegan or vegetarian? How could we regenerate the land and the seas? Is rewilding the solution? Why should we care about cows and pigs? What is wrong with celebrity chefs and contemporary gastronomy?
Can we both enjoy food and be healthy? How can we lose weight sustainably? Can we have our cake and eat it?
To these, and many other questions, Federico Filippi, prompted by a plea for help from an overweight friend, takes us on a journey back in time, and shows us how the world of ideas can be more illuminating than “the science” in understanding how we got to a crisis point in agriculture, diet, and the very culture of eating. Through a blend of uncompromising principles, practical guidance, humour, and enthusiasm, the Author shows us a way out of the food labyrinth.
