Reviews

There are 3,000 food additives in our food supply, many of which have not been tested for safety, and the average American consumes three to five pounds of these chemicals a year. InFeeding You Lies, Vani Hari pulls back the veil of deception by the food industry, scientists, and the media designed to manipulate us and ignore the unnecessary harms in our food supply. The deep investigation of the actions of the media, food companies, and science to suppress the truth will shock you, make you stop and consider what you put in your mouth, as well as empower you with the tools and strategies to protect yourself from bad foods and lies. If you eat, read this book.

A tangled web of deception is unraveled in this provocative page-turner! My eyes are now wide open thanks to Vanis tireless investigative work to expose the truth about the food we eat.

With all the wrongdoings exposed in this book, its no wonder that so many are confused about what to eat! Youll never walk into a grocery store with the same outlook after learning the revealing information presented in this thoughtful read.
Frank Lipman, M.D.,New York Timesbest-selling author ofThe New Health RulesandHow to Be Well

Our food is making many of us fat, sick, and miserable; but its making certain companies billions of dollars. To us, the fact that disease rates are skyrocketing is a matter of life or death; but to them, its just a PR problem. This magnificent book by the courageous and brilliant food activist Vani Hari shows you how to see through the lies, how to know the truth about what you are eating, and how to feed yourself and your family foods that will truly nourish your body, your mind, and your spirit.
John Robbins, co-founder and president of Food Revolution Network and best-selling author ofDiet for a New America

The tobacco industry survived for decades by marketing doubt as our product. Big Food is following in their footsteps. I am grateful to Vani Hari for exposing the abuse of trust and the descending health of the public at the hands of Big Food. Her simple Three Question Detox is a platform to upgrade the health of your family. Everyone should read this book.
