Fiat Food

Why Inflation Destroyed Our Health and How Bitcoin Fixes It

By: Matthew Lysiak, Saifedean Ammous

Narrated by: 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 What was traditionally determined by our geography, availability and ancient wisdom has been replaced by a manipulative cartel of government, industry, and academia who issue edicts.

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

Opt out of it all

Our wealth is cruelly and subtly extracted from us to pay for wars we don’t want, food that poisons us, and a health care system that maintains our sickness. Beware of conspiring men.

Tremendous Detail

Countless instances of fiat fueled fraud detailed by the author revealing the way fake money has led to fake food.

Good content, terrible narration

This book provides a fascinating history of the Machiavellian “fiat food” system in the USA that is anti-meat and pro-sickness. However, Lysiak draws only tenuous connections between fiat food and other topics, like Covid vaccines and Bitcoin, which ultimately seem shoehorned into the otherwise focused text.

Unfortunately, the Lysiak narrates so poorly that it seems like he’s reading these words for the first time.

Bizarrely, he mispronounces the famous palace Versailles as “Ver-Say-Lees” and butchers several other words and the names of people. You’d think that the author would confirm how to say the names he included in his work before recording.

There are also several instances where Lysiak interrupts his reading of a sentence at the end of one line of text and awkwardly resumes on the next line, as well as a few other instances where he repeats a sentence he has just read. At one point toward the end of the book, he stumbles badly through one of his sentences and just lets out a frustrated “Ahhh!” before reattempting.

Clearly this audiobook was a rushed recording and could be improved with editing. However, a better solution would be to re-record with a better narrator. The concluding chapters, written and narrated by Saifedean Ammous, were interesting and well done.
