I have seen criticisms of Lustig's 2nd half of the book, where, after he has laid out the scientific framework of understanding the critically important difference between happiness and pleasure, he launches into an exposé of the toxic industrial storm that keeps us sick, miserable, and addicted.
Yes, addicted to the many extremely destructive (but slow and subtle) killers, like sugar, chronic stress, fake food, and other dopamine pipelines that are burning us out and destroying our minds and bodies.
The critics say he is just another conspiracy theorist, but I believe he makes very, very clear he is not. He does not believe that big pharma and corporate gather in secret cabals, plotting the destruction of us all. But the outcome is nearly identical just the same.
But WE have the power to stop them. The government will not do it for us, because they so obviously own the government (again, he lays this out in meticulous detail and vast footnoting).
And the first step it to really, really understand the dilemma. It's a big one, but the solutions are in our hands.
This book may have changed my life. May it enhance yours, too.… (més)
