With the help of this #1 national bestseller, learn how to cut hidden food toxins, lose weight, and get healthy in just 21 days.

Did you know that your fast food fries contain a chemical used in Silly Putty? Or that a juicy peach sprayed heavily with pesticides could be triggering your body to store fat? When we go to the supermarket, we trust that all our groceries are safe to eat. But much of what we're putting into our bodies is either tainted with chemicals or processed in a way that makes us gain weight, feel sick, and age before our time.

Luckily, Vani Hari -- aka the Food Babe -- has got your back. A food activist who has courageously put the heat on big food companies to disclose ingredients and remove toxic additives from their products, Hari has made it her life's mission to educate the world about how to live a clean, organic, healthy lifestyle in an overprocessed, contaminated-food world, and how to look and feel fabulous while doing it.

In The Food Babe Way, Hari invites you to follow an easy and accessible plan to rid your body of toxins, lose weight without counting calories, and restore your natural glow in just 21 days. Including anecdotes of her own transformation along with easy-to-follow shopping lists, meal plans, and mouthwatering recipes, The Food Babe Way will empower you to change your food, change your body, and change the world.

Title: Excellent Read..
Review: This was an excellent read. As has been previously stated, I've also read various unflattering comments about Mrs. Hari with regard to this book and her activism in general. Some say she's not a medical doctor, nutritional expert or scientist; so she's unqualified to write about food. I wholeheartedly disagree. After reading this cover to cover, I feel the book is very well written and presented in an understandable format.Mrs. Hari did a great job explaining how some corporate food giants routinely add antibiotics to livestock such as chicken and cattle, usually on company owned or company sponsored farms. This makes the livestock bulk up quicker so that it can be slaughtered sooner and shipped to market. Some in the restaurant industry adds MSG and other nasty chemicals to our food in order to preserve it, stabilize it, change its color, texture or consistency, add color or whatever other goal they have in mind to get the average Joe Schmo to eat their toxic concoctions.Monsanto manufactures and markets Roundup, a weed killer that's been around since 1970 (according to Wikipedia), and it's used on many farms around the world. With bulk supplies and different variations of pesticides being used on crops (no matter who manufactures them), you don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand the possibility these chemicals can leech into and contaminate the very food we're eating or you're feeding your family.We now have genetically modified plants grown from seeds which have the unnatural ability to resist certain pests. Once crops are harvested and processed into commercially available food, it can have any number of additives contained within that ultimately entices us to eat whatever is placed in front of us, because it looks, smells or tastes good.Unfortunately the only way to rid ourselves of many of these contaminates is to grow our own food or purchase it from a local farmer, farmers market or a grocer such as Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Thrive Market or Sprouts to name a few. Many people don't have access to these specialty grocers because they're usually located in the more densely populated areas. Purchasing food that's grown naturally or raised to a higher standard usually means paying more for it, so many people choose not to buy it or can't afford it.The book gives excellent insight into what types of food to eat and what to avoid. There's a list of suggested places to shop in person or online to purchase meat, produce or even protein products. The book is footnoted and gives sources and references for the information contained within. The forward was written by Dr. Mark Hyman, MD.I don't mean to imply that this or any other book is perfect when it pertains to what I or anyone else chooses to eat, but this particular book interested me enough to read it and make my own decisions based on the information presented. For anyone who believes that science is infallible, medical professionals have all the answers or corporations and governments won't lie to us to achieve a particular goal, I feel they're doing themselves and possibly their loved ones a disservice.Like many politicians, science can be, and often is motivated by money. Medical practitioners tell us this year that a food product is good for us, but next year they tell us a different story. Medical professionals and scientists can ultimately be bought. All science is not necessarily bad, but it's impossible to tell the good from the not so good when the majority of us are not scientists; especially when we're just trying to pay the bills and raise our families.Thank goodness there are people like Vani Hari and many others like her, that do the legwork, blog and publicize the information to identify the jokers that would sell us anything as a means of enriching themselves. I know there are those who would argue that Mrs. Hari is also motivated by money because she promotes various products on her website. I would respond by saying we all need to earn a living. She has identified a niche that allows her to do just that, while also providing for her own family. Keep up the good work Vani.

Title: Straightforward advice. Nothing very "controversial."
Review: Great book. Originally I had no plans to read it. I followed "The Food Babe" on Facebook. I liked what she wrote and posted but I didn't think I would learn anything new as I've read countless books on nutrition. And then one day I was reading Facebook and I saw a post from someone calling themselves "The Science Babe." It was clear that she had it in for "The Food Babe." But why? She seemed to insinuate that the "Food Babe" had no idea what she was talking about and everything she said was exaggerated. That didn't really seem to be the case to me based her Facebook posts. So I decided to take another look at the book. I went to Amazon and started reading the reviews. I was surprised to see a lot of reviews that were bashing her in a way that makes me suspect. Usually when someone attacks someone by name calling without actually debating the issues or refuting things put forth, there is another agenda at work. So, I decided to buy and read the book.First, it's a great book. Nice and easy to read and you'll like "the Food Babe" as a person. I'm not really thrilled about people who refer to themselves as "babe" but her explanation of how she came up with the name, and why, worked for me and I got over my initial reaction. The book is mostly common nutrition nuggets backed by the Food Babe's explanations and research. There was really nothing too surprising or shocking about her material; I agree with it all; eat healthy, read labels, learn and know the tricks that food marketers use, etc.So, why the extreme, mean spirited attacks, against someone who lives their life researching the food we eat, has had success changing her life and wants to share the information? Who would go out of their way to attack her? Who would be the type of person that would even bother? Well, I won't answer that for you, but I do have my own answer.I would say, just read the book and make up your own mind. Decide for yourself if the "Food Babe" is qualified and sources her material correctly.The only critique I would offer is that "The Food Babe Way," which is kind of her way of living a healthy lifestyle might be a little difficult to follow the way it is set up. She gives you a new habit to acquire, each day. At first it seems pretty easy, but as the days roll along, it gets a little more difficult. I almost think it would be better to add one new habit (or break a habit) once per WEEK. To some this might seem kind of wimpy but for people that have to make a major change it might be a little easier for you to accomplish.Other than that, great advice, easy to read and entertaining. It's well worth the money.

Review: Vani is clearly getting to people, one way or another. More 1 star ratings than 5 star.... hmmmm, something seems amiss. Are those 1 star raters from the big food corporations and chemical companies? I can't help but wonder.Do we really need to be scientists to understand how to eat well and to know whether or not to believe Vani? I don't think so. She is just trying to open our eyes and to help us use our common sense. It doesn't make sense to have more than 15 ingredients in a food that we are unable to pronounce. We've been fed so much nonsense by the FDA and other so called experts, that many of us are ready to listen to "the little guy" who has good old plain reason that comes with knowledge from an educated background. Vani doesn't have to be a scientist to have knowledge. How many courses in nutrition have scientists taken in their schooling? The same goes for doctors. Where exactly does their expertise in nutrition come from? Wasn't it the "experts" that told us to eat low-fat in the nineties, which only meant that we ended up consuming more sugar than ever before. The scientific experts are the ones who have led us into this unhealthy mess of obesity, increased levels of diabetes and cancer, etc. in the first place. How much more sickness is there since chemicals have been added to our foods? Our grandparents weren't sick like we are today. This is what makes us stop and think and ask: what is going on and what can we do about it?I loved the book and am thankful for Vani sharing what she has learned and for not being afraid to stand up to the corporate bullies. Vani is a naturally beautiful woman, but most of her glow comes from what she feeds her body. There are a lot of pretty people out there, but they don't all have that healthy glow. All I want for me and my family is to eat well, and therefore feel well. We have noticed such a difference since following Vani's advice. Since eating wholesome, chemical free foods, my twice a day migraines have disappeared without the use of medication! How can I ignore evidence like that!I respect the big corporations who have been called out by Vani, but who are trying to make positive change rather than choosing to attack her. There is no reason to bully someone who has a different point of view on a topic. Don't buy the book if you think she is crazy, but don't make fun of those of us who after doing our own research, choose to respect and follow Vani's advice. We are not blindly following her, but we are also not blindly following the "experts" anymore either. I am thankful that I did spend the money on the book and we will use it as a reference tool on our path to good health. Thank you Vani!

Review: This is a fantastic book. So much information in a very accessible and casual tone. I've learned so much about the toxins that are added to our food. I'm both shocked and empowered. Thank you, Food Babe!

Review: This is a book which achieves its aim of exposing the hidden ingredients in what we eat. The author does not profess to be a scientist BUT she is a brave and motivated campaigner to improve not only eating habits, but persuade the big brands to ensure at the very least ingredients are transparent, if not improved. Interesting and motivating.
