What? Nutrition is complex and, more often than not, reduced to a granular view of individual nutrients that provide specific health benefits. But this is not how the food that we eat works and the food ecosystem (from science to table) is open to misinterpretation and manipulation. "Whole" reviews the nutrition, science and politics behind the food that we eat.
Who? Best known for his work on The China Study, T. Colin Campbell PhD is an eminent, published nutrition scientist and leader in plant forward living.
Why? Too often we are pushed towards a reductionist world view of nutrition by scientists, media, marketing and politics. With clear and detailed explanations, Campbell provides an alternate view on how we should eat and why.

So… How often have you been nudged toward supplements, superfoods or the latest diet? Campbell brings us all back to simple truths and realities in nutrition and in health.
