Food is a major part of our daily lives. Food matters. In fact, it matters so much that food manufacturers and advertisers have noticed, exploiting consumers every day for the sake of their bottom lines and feeding us lies about what to eat and where to buy food. Food is as healing as medicine or as toxic as poison. Were surrounded by opportunities to make food choices that will fuel success or, sadly, drive failure every day. The war for health is one that the food industry and advertisers have been winning for far too long. They have advanced technology and strategies that have been hijacking your taste buds, your brain, and your body for decades, causing you to be a prisoner of war to their technology, addictive concoctions, and foodlike substances. This war has been literally stealing the health, wealth, and happiness of Americans (and people in other nations who have adopted the standard American diet) for far too long. The good news is that you can break these chains, starting today, and its easier than you think! Its not brain surgery; its brain science!
