Our food system went to Dr. Mark Hyman for a check-up, and in Food
Fix he diagnoses chronic influence-peddling, inflammation of the
profit motive (the money-grubbing has metastasized), sclerosis of
the lower politician, and a severely ruptured public interest. Read
this book. Then take two actions and tweet him in the morning.

Few issues are as important as the food the world grows,
transports, wastes, and consumes, and few people can capture this
picture, and can be as creative with solutions as Mark Hyman. This
is a powerful call to arms.
*Kelly D. Brownell, PhD, Director of World Food Policy Center*
Food Fix by Dr. Mark Hyman is a provocative yet transformational
analysis of our food system, from farm to table. While some of the
proposals to change our food system are controversial, the book
represents one of the first substantive and thoughtful attempts to
tie the often stove-piped subjects of food, medicine, health, and
sustainable agriculture into a holistic approach to feed a hungry
and healthy global population.
*Dan Glickman, Former Secretary of Agriculture (1995-2001)*

system. Read this book to impact your health and the world around
you.

Mark Hyman may be our leading physician social visionary. In his
most important book yet, he shows how our food economy could be
reshaped to make us more prosperous and, more important,
healthier.
*Lawrence H. Summers*
An authoritative, illuminating account of how greed and cynicism
have poisoned our food and devastated our minds, our bodies, and
our planet, paired with inspiring examples of how we can reverse
the damage, restore our health, and heal our world. Food Fix is
profoundly disturbing and vitally important.
*James S. Gordon, MD, psychiatrist and author of The
Transformation*
In spite of daily breakthroughs in medicine, we continue to see an
increase in cancers, heart disease, and other chronic conditions.
It's time to consider not just what we eat, but how it's farmed and
how we are using our land in the process. Food Fix gives us an
outline of what we need to consider to both fulfill our needs and
preserve our planet.
*Governor Christine Todd Whitman, former Administrator of the
EPA*
Food Fix shines a light on what is happening with our food system
while sharing ways for readers to make a real change. The book

improving the lives of plants, animals, and ourselves.
*Gisele Bündchen, author of Lessons and global
environmentalist*
If you're overwhelmed by the scale of the world's problems, and
wondering what you can do in your own life to start, Food Fix is
for you. Dr. Hyman deftly connects the dots between education,
health, climate science, and the food we eat every day, showing
that the choices we make about the food we put on our plates has
consequences that ripple around the world.
*Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO of Thrive Global*
Our global food system has produced an unhealthy planet, thanks to
the food industry's push for unsustainable ultra-processed food.
Food Fix highlights the need to focus on what we put on our plates
as a way to improve our diets, our health, and the health of the
planet.
*Barry M. Popkin, PhD, W. R. Kenan, Jr., Distinguished Professor of
Nutrition, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill*
Mark Hyman has been teaching us how to eat healthier, feel better,
and live longer for years. While nutrition is still a major focus
in Food Fix, he also encourages us to think about how our food is
produced, prepared, and purchased. I highly recommend it. It is a
great read.
*Ann M. Veneman, Former Secretary of Agriculture*
"A tour de force read that exposes how food and food systems are at
the center of our most pressing problems, impacting the health of
people, our environment, and even our national security. Food Fix
boldly demonstrates how changing what - and how - we eat can
literally change the world.
*Bill Frist, MD, Former Majority Leader US Senate*
In an increasingly polarized and anxious world, Food Fix is a
beacon of hope and inspiration, serving up a pragmatic and
clear-eyed assessment of where we are, and how changing the way we
eat and think about food, can take us where we need to go.
*Deepak Chopra, author of Metahuman*
Dr. Hyman's diagnostic skills are on full display in this brilliant
book. He's connected the pandemic of chronic human disease with the
many expressions of our environmental crisis, for which his urgent
prescription is regenerative agriculture. Reading this book should
give all of us great hope for personal and planetary healing, and
thank you, Mark, for shining your light on our path forward.
*Tom Newmark, Chairman of The Carbon Underground and past Chair of
Greenpeace Fund USA*
Dr. Hyman's provocative perspective on the power of food to fix us
and our planet is an influential read.

your own health or the planet's. This volume will give you both a
nudge in that direction, and some straightforward guidance for
getting underway!
*Bill McKibben, author of Falter*
"Dr. Hyman is a unique leader in the food world, building bridges
between disparate viewpoints, creating connections between
different worlds, and using this to construct an original plan for
how we can all move forward towards better health, not only for
ourselves but also for the planet. Food Fix ranges masterfully
across different fields, offering, ultimately, a sense of hope and
an inspiring vision for the future.
*Nina Teicholz, author of The Big Fat Surprise*
Food Fix is a brilliantly researched feast of facts about the most
critically overlooked cause of chronic disease, global warming, and
environmental degradation. It is also the Fix, demonstrating that
the food sector is an astonishing yet overlooked basis for
transforming agriculture, health care, mental illness, biodiversity
loss, education, and economic well-being. It is a rare book, a
momentous work that will inform and improve the lives of every
reader, society, and country.
*Paul Hawken, editor of Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever
Proposed to Reverse Global Warming*
Food Fix is a wake up call, alerting us to the flawed food system
that ensnares us all. Dr. Mark Hyman has not just the diagnosis but
the remedies we need. I'm hoping his crucial message will give us a
recipe that can fix our food.
*Daniel Goleman*
Dr. Hyman is a modern-day Hippocrates, a pied piper with a clarion
call to heal ourselves with healthy food and good habits, as well
to rethink and realign our food system to support greater health in
the world. His voice is at once fresh, powerful, informed,
passionate, and encouraging, and his book a must read for us
all.
*Walter Robb, Stonewall Robb Advisors, Former co-CEO of Whole Foods
Market*
Dr. Mark Hyman pulls no punches in this eye-opening journey through
the food system, revealing the jungle behind the grocery aisle,
farmer's market, cafeteria, and anywhere we find food. While in his
past books he helped us realize the joy and benefits of healthy
eating, this book takes a deep dive into the hidden politics,
vested corporate interests, and broken regulations that create
confusion and distrust about what we are fed, both in terms of food
and information. Food Fix argues that food inequities increase
risks for chronic diseases, which contributes to social unrest,
mental health disorders, educational inequities, and even violence
and crime. The good news is that with each ugly reveal, Dr. Hyman
proposes practical solutions. If you want to know what's under the
sheets of our food system and what needs to be done to repair the
mess, read this book. If you are part of the problem: run-Food Fix
is coming after you. I highly recommend the fascinating probe into
the world behind our food.
*Dr William W. Li, author of Eat to Beat Disease*
