Fiat Food

Why Inflation Destroyed Our Health and How Bitcoin Fixes It

De: Matthew Lysiak, Saifedean Ammous

Narrado por: Matthew Lysiak

THE REAL COST OF INFLATION ON A COUNTRY can be best seen not through government-sanctioned data points circulated throughout the corporate sponsored media, but in the financial, physical, and mental health of its citizenry. Officials point to the increase of paper wealth as evidence that their stewardship in both the economy and nutrition has led to a rise in the quality of life. In reality, the past fifty years has seen the true standard of living for most Americans plummet. Debasement of the currency has left the American people poorer, and through the resulting degradation of the nutrients of their food supply, sicker than at any time in recent history. What follows is an examination of one of the most compelling “who done-its” in American history. In Fiat Food, Lysiak unravels a plot by the largest institutions of American power and the outsized ramifications it has had on modern civilization.

“IN TERMS OF THE LIVES CUT SHORT, it would be no exaggeration to say that 20th century nutrition science and government food policies are the biggest crime in history, putting genocides and man-made famines to shame. Matthew Lysiak provides a gripping forensic investigation into the barely believable sequence of events, spanning over a century, which led to the complete overhaul of the modern diet and the current obesity, diabetes, and autoimmune disease epidemic ravaging our species.”—SAIFEDEAN AMMOUS Internationally Best-selling Economist and Author

“WHAT IF THE FOOD YOU ATE MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE to think clearly about the food you were eating—or for that matter, anything else? Could the western diet function as a tool of mass social control? Hell yes, as this remarkable book explains with horrifying clarity.”—TUCKER CARLSON Author, Journalist, and Host of Tucker on X

Incredible taste of reality

Matthew lays out exactly how the American diet was systematically hijacked by corrupted authorities. What was traditionally determined by our geography, availability and ancient wisdom has been replaced by a manipulative cartel of government, industry, and academia who issue edicts.

Flawless

This is the most entertaining and informative book I’ve ever listened to and is changing my life.

Incredible research and exposure of truth, with an astonishingly unpolished and amateur reading performance.

The author reads his own work, yet has numerous pacing issues, mispronunciations, more than a few repeats of lines that weren’t edited out, and at one point even reads a line, makes a mistake and utters a brief exasperation, then reads the line again. Did no one listen back to this before publishing? I hesitate to recommend the audiobook to anyone for fear that all the editing carelessness will preclude them from hearing the powerful message and content.

It’s a wonderful, powerful, and thoroughly researched title that needs badly to have the audiobook reworked by a professional who can pay attention to these most basic details.

Note: I am writing this review in December ‘24.

Excellent book- amateur performance

Outstanding thesis, great research, very well written book.

Recording needs way better editing— multiple bloopers that never got spliced out. Several words mispronounced.

Incredible research, mediocre delivery

The audio recording was kind of painful. Stutters, mispronunciations, and multiple counts of the same line being read twice. However, it’s worth sitting through, because the research is something everyone should be exposed to

You're eating garbage... Stop it!

This book makes a clear case for something I knew a little about, but now have a much better understanding of! The incentives of big government and big food businesses are perfectly aligned to destroy your health! Opt out of this nonsense ASAP!

Should be titled "Why things are the way they are"

I don't take time to write many audible reviews but can't recommend this book enough. In a time when scepticism of what we've been told by "authorities" is at an all time high, this book explaines why we should have been scepticts all along. A great illustration of how one industry or government decision impacts another and how we're mostly being fed junk and everyone is being paid to promote it. I gave the performance 4/5 because the narrator often says a line, stops, then repeats it to continue reading. I started the paperback version and didn't see this anywhere in the book so I assume it was just reading errors. I'm sure a simple edit could fix them. If you're on the fence - get the book and finish it!

Great story - surprised by narrator

I really gave quite a bit of consideration before writing this review. I love the subject matter and the author did a fabulous job researching and writing a compelling book. That said, the narrator does a disservice to the author, mispronouncing a large number of words, indicating, to me at least, that he doesn’t quite understand the subject matter. The example that prompted me to step off the treadmill and write this was his pronunciation of “Versailles” as “VerSayLees” in reference to the Treaty of Versailles. I still recommend, but you’ll have to accept this deficiency / distraction. I normally am not so critical, but I expect the narrator to be able to pronounce the words. There many other examples. In some cases, he obviously pronounced a completely different word than was written in the text.

Carnivores will save the world

The knowledge and evidence presented is high level and clear. Our species appropriate diet is meat.

Money has destroyed the way Americans consume food.

This book was an inspiration to change the way you eat and the way you view the agro-industrial complex.
