Some days I applaud the amount of information available to me. Other days, what with fake news, social media trolls, the newest( and best) celebrity endorsed diet and a ton of conflicting nutritional advice, I'd like to unplug and head for the hills. In The Angry Chef, Anthony Warner tackles food facts, as well as myths that we may have been led to believe, are based on scientific facts. As humans, we kinda, sorta know that if we consume more calories than we burn, we gain weight. And that foods full of ingredients we can't spell or pronounce are usually not our friends. Unfortunately, there is so much money made by those who promote the only diet you will ever need or the magical pill that lets you eat whatever you want and still lose weight. There doesn't seem to be as much support( or money to be made) for the fact that if we make healthy eating choices and exercise, our bodies won't be constantly overfed or starving and that number on the scale won't keep going up and down. The Angry Chef talks about a lifestyle change, not a fad diet change and yes it does take commitment and work.
The author didn't shy away from some celebrity bashing and I am not sure if that added anything of value to this book. But I get it, he is angry at a lot of what he sees and hears and as it is his book, he can vent. In his way, he is asking us to do our own research, not take everything we see or hear at face value and make choices based more on facts and less on fantasy. It is a book full of common sense and an enjoyable and informative read.
Thank you, Anthony Warner, The Experiment, and NetGalley for a digital ARC to read and review.

The concept and ideas in the blurb attract me, but doesn’t work for kindle readers and couldn’t open the PDF file.

There is plenty of fake science out there about food, diet, and health. While not as authoritative on food myths as other books I've read, this book takes a good whack at the messed up thought that drives many of us to try increasingly strange and restricted diets.

He's out to expose them for what they are, not useful and possibly harmful. it's a task that is accomplished successfully with lots of evidence and boiled down to ten simple rules.

The Angry Chef's spirited guide to navigating the misinformation around food and superfoods, dietary fads and guidelines, real and pseudoscience of nutrition is engaging, informative, and fun to read. It disentangles lots of confusing advice and issues a manageable--and scientifically backed--recommendation on how to eat well -- with pleasure, with curiosity and with a taste for variety.
