Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend.

Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is Fiat Food: Why Inflation Destroyed Our Health and How Bitcoin Fixes It by Matthew Lysiak & Saifedean Ammous.

This one is different. Yes, it’s about inflation. Yes, it’s about Bitcoin. But it’s also about something you deal with three times a day: food. This isn’t just another economics book for macro geeks or crypto bros, itt’s a wake-up call for anyone who eats, breathes, and wonders what the hell happened to common sense.  Honestly this was the one book in this series from Saifedean Ammous that I held out on reading for a long time.  Last week I got the audio and started listening to it and wow, this is a must read for anyone who cares about their wealth and/or their health.  So basically everyone.

Lysiak & Ammous don’t just go after fiat money, they dig into how fiat corrupted everything. Not just savings accounts and housing prices, but what’s on your dinner plate. He makes the connection between bad money and fake food with surgical precision, and once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Now here’s the part that might surprise you or make you spit your coffee.

Turns out a lot of what we think of as “science” about diet, especially the anti-meat, pro-grain, pro-seed oil garbage, didn’t come from labs or data. It came from a religious group.  Specifically the Seventh-day Adventists who literally believed eating meat made you horny and that masturbation caused disease. Not kidding. That was the foundation.

If you doubt that claim you may want to check out this article about it here.  It is actually way worse then I describe above

Then the Adventists created institutions, journals, and promoted so-called “experts,” and handed off the whole mess to guys like Ancel Keys. What started as theological nonsense got laundered into “settled science,” and it’s been poisoning the food pyramid and your health ever since.

Yeah. That happened!

This book does for food what The Fiat Standard did for money and if you’ve read that one, you know how deep the rot goes. Lysiak and Ammous put faces and fingerprints on the crime scene. They don’t just show you how we got here, they make it personal. Because this isn’t about abstract systems or graph.  It’s about what’s in your pantry, what’s going into your kids, and why everyone’s fatter, sicker, and more depressed than ever before.

The good news? He doesn’t just leave you with the crime he shows you the exit. The food system can be reclaimed. So can your health. But only if you first understand who broke it and why.

This book is available in print, Kindle, and audiobook, so however you prefer to take in information there are options.  I got the audio myself and do want to provide one caveat.  Lysiak himself reads the book and does a fine job.  Occasionally though he may actually reread a line he got slightly off without any editing.  This is not distracting really and makes it genuine but if your expecting a perfect studio edited audio i’d say you will get 98% of what you expect.

If you care about your food, your health, or your money, you need to read this. Fiat Food makes the consequences of fiat real right in your gut. Buy it, read it, and start taking back what matters most. So Pick up a copy of Fiat Food: Why Inflation Destroyed Our Health and How Bitcoin Fixes It by Matthew Lysiak & Saifedean Ammous today.

P.S. – This book rounds out a series of books by Ammous the three are Fiat Food, The Fiat Standard & The Bitcoin Standard.  A book but another author that rounds it all out is Broken Money by Lynn Alden.  Anyone who reads all four of these books will know more about money, health, history and economics then most collge graduates with degress on those subjects.  All are VERY high on my must read list.
