Synopsis

THE REAL COST OF INFLATION ON A COUNTRY can be best seen not through government-sanctioned data points circulated throughout the corporate sponsored media, but in the financial, physical, and mental health of its citizenry. Officials point to the increase of paper wealth as evidence that their stewardship in both the economy and nutrition has led to a rise in the quality of life. In reality, the past fifty years has seen the true standard of living for most Americans plummet. Debasement of the currency has left the American people poorer, and through the resulting degradation of the nutrients of their food supply, sicker than at any time in recent history. What follows is an examination of one of the most compelling “who done-its” in American history. In Fiat Food, Lysiak unravels a plot by the largest institutions of American power and the outsized ramifications it has had on modern civilization.“IN TERMS OF THE LIVES CUT SHORT, it would be no exaggeration to say that 20th century nutrition science and government food policies are the biggest crime in history, putting genocides and man-made famines to shame. Matthew Lysiak provides a gripping forensic investigation into the barely believable sequence of events, spanning over a century, which led to the complete overhaul of the modern diet and the current obesity, diabetes, and autoimmune disease epidemic ravaging our species.”—SAIFEDEAN AMMOUS Internationally Best-selling Economist and Author“WHAT IF THE FOOD YOU ATE MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE to think clearly about the food you were eating—or for that matter, anything else? Could the western diet function as a tool of mass social control? Hell yes, as this remarkable book explains with horrifying clarity.”—TUCKER CARLSON Author, Journalist, and Host of Tucker on X

I found this book incredibly eye opening. I’ve never really considered the history of our current society’s food before. Let alone considered the impact of inflation on our nutrition . Or the marketing, government, religious, and financial aspects that effected it. Matthew and Saifedean have proposed......more

Goodreads review by William on June 08, 2024

Lots of decent ideas, but this book is honestly not written very well. I noticed a decent number of simple grammatical mistakes that look sloppy, and for some reason, I always want to second guess myself: don’t judge so easily, grammar’s not the end all be all, etc. But that is the dumb American in m......more

Goodreads review by Samir on February 04, 2024

Fascinating read on the impact inflation has had, and is currently having, on our health due to the food we’ve been consuming since the last century with the implementation of the fiat system. This system, where money can be created out of nowhere through debt, is not only destroying the purchasing......more

Goodreads review by zogador on March 01, 2026

This book was phenomenal in it's scope of research and level of detail, unveiling deep capitalist cronyism which has destroyed the quality of food in the United States, as well as Americans health. I wanted to give it 4 stars, except for one thing. The last two chapters were not written by the main a......more
