We Don't Know What We're Eating

If you think that organic products will save your health, you are mistaken. The quality of all the food offered to us from store shelves has deteriorated over the past 100 years, and industrial agriculture and chemicals used in the... fields and packaging are to blame. We simply don't know what we're eating. Christine Loles is convinced that our bodies are literally changing from the inside: the food industry has affected the microbiome, the brain, and genes. The author documents these alarming changes and, after consulting with researchers, offers a strategy for fighting for health and survival. Her voice is not like the instructions of doctors or food-obsessed fanatics: based on representative studies from recent years, she proposes a reasoned philosophy of consumption, which she herself calls the theory of the whole egg.
