Diet and the Disease of Civilization

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Diet books typically don't just tell readers what to eat: they offer complete philosophies about who we are and how we all should live. Diet and the Disease of Civilization interrupts the predictable debate about eating right to ask a hard question: what if it's not calories - but concepts - that should be counted?
