Download The Real Food Revolution: Healthy Eating, Green Groceries, and the Return of the American Family Farm AudioBook Free
Today a buck gets you a quick burger (or two), but what's the true cost of that food? The rates of chronic disease - specifically diseases like diabetes, brought on by our lifestyles - have grown exponentially lately, edging medical bills higher while threatening to give America its first generation to really live shorter lives than their parents. Alas finding good diet is no walk in the area, with more Americans living in metropolitan areas, far from a farmer's field. To beat distance and undercut price, we rely on industry to place dinner up for grabs - yet this system has appreciated efficiency and short-term income over our own health and the health of our environment. So how do we keep America growing? Congressman Tim Ryan may have a delicate spot for poultry wings and ice cream, but he also understands the happiness of farm-fresh produce and the feel of land between his fingers. In this audiobook, he lays out the problems we face and gives easy, actionable steps that anyone can take to resolve them, from starting an herb garden to helping implement food education in universities to petitioning your elected officials. The commonsense ideas he presents, can help you improve the quality of life for you and future decades.
