The healthcare industry is playing games with us, says Barry Groves - trick and treat - exploiting and fostering fundamentally unhealthy practices as ?healthy?, they first ?trick? us into an unhealthy lifestyle, and then they ?treat? the conditions those practices cause. We have been brought to believe in so-called ?healthy eating?, making sure we get our ?five a day? and shunning fats in favour of complex carbohydrates, but this contrived, utterly modern diet could actually be harmful to our health. Rather than relieving the illnesses and diseases that have crept into our lives more and more in recent decades, he suggests, much of today?s ?healthy? food could be the cause. In Trick and Treat, Barry Groves shows us how to take charge and rediscover our naturally evolved healthy diet.
