Warning: Shock and outrage will grip you as you dive into this one-of-a-kind exposé. Shoddy science, sketchy politics, and shady special interests have shaped American Dietary recommendations - and destroyed our nation's health - over recent decades. The phrase "Death by Food Pyramid" isn't shock-value sensationalism, but the tragic consequence of following federal advice and corporate manipulation in pursuit of health.
In Death by Food Pyramid, Denise Minger exposes the forces that overrode common sense and solid science to launch a pyramid phenomenon that bled far beyond US borders to taint the eating habits of the entire developed world.
Minger explores how generations of flawed pyramids and plates endure as part of the national consciousness, and how the "one size fits all" diet mentality these icons convey pushes us deeper into the throes of obesity and disease. Regardless of whether you're an omnivore or vegan, research junkie or science-phobe, health novice or seasoned dieter, Death by Food Pyramid will reframe your understanding of nutrition science - and inspire you to take your health, and your future, into your own hands.

Not likely, simply because of the monotone narration.What did you like best about this story?
Denise Minger's well-reasoned writing and her willingness to help people understand what she is conveying about nutrition and the science (or lack thereof) behind it was definitely breath of fresh air compared to other recent releases.Would you listen to another book narrated by David Minger?
I'm sure the narrator is an intelligent and lovely person but, no.Humorous look at history and science of nutition

Can't stand the narrator

However, the narrator of the book lacks qualities of professional narrators. The tone is very encyclopedic. For instance, humor is often read with identical tone and inflection as scientific terminology without any clear consciousness conveyed about the actual material. Basically, this will sound as if a male Siri were reading with a Midwestern accent.
No offense to the performer but I hope this is redone with a veteran audio book narrator.
Terrific material made taxing by poor narration

Would you listen to Death by Food Pyramid again? Why?
No. The research done for this book is great and the information is very well written. The narration however makes this audio book almost unlistenable. It it flat, there are no pauses between sections, and the sound quality is bad - it almost sounds like someone sitting in their kitchen.What did you like best about this story?

That rant aside, this is a great book. Ms. Minger mixes humor with science and journalism that keeps it entertaining, despite the soporific voice delivering it. The subject matter is fascinating and important or read/listen if ONLY for the chapter explaining how scientific studies should work, which is worth the cost alone. I also bought a hard copy to try to forget the audio version.
This is really an excellent book. Please, please re-record the narration.
Hampered by voice work, still excellent
