Product Overview
Offering insight into the mystery of obesity and the related metabolic complexities we call adult chronic disease. Collectively we understand the importance of keeping our food supply clean and free of pathogens. In fact we call the illness that arise from eating spoiled food Food Borne Disease. We have public health officials who inspect our food supplies from the farm to the grocery store. Our restaurants and kitchens have many procedures in place for the safety of the food we eat. We have more choices, better cooking methods, and industrial size appliances gracing our homes today than ever before. In fact we are making our new appliances so complex that most of us will be finding out how to use our convection ovens in time for them to become obsolete. Food borne disease, then, is commonly thought of a problem with spoiled food. This book, Why You Cant Have Your Cake & Eat It Too, offers a unique perspective on the perplexing problem of obesity, insulin resistance, and its unmistakable connection to the way we nourish ourselves with food. The what, who, and when of the evolution of our obesity epidemic is described in language and metaphor that will create understanding. We cannot solve our current public health crisis of obesity with the same level of thinking that created it. We must see it with fresh eyes, and begin to take action on a very individual level. The steps to make these individual changes are presented in a way that provides resources and plans of action. Action is going to be the largest part of this understanding. If we had salmonella or staphylococcal food poisoning affecting 65% of the population, there would be a significant commitment from the public health sector. Yet, we have a food borne disorder affecting 65% of our population and we are told we have to push back and work out. This hasnt worked and we still say the same thing. It is the author's hope that as you understand insulin resistance and how uniquely individual it is, you will have the knowledge to recover your health and attain whatever body size you desire.
