Ep. 197: Matthew Rees - A Big Fat Crisis: Uncovering Fact from Fiction about Our Food

In a world that is littered with false information and blatant lies, especially when it comes to health and nutrition, it is so important to seek the truth.

Matthew Rees is a treasure trove of facts and commentary about food and health at his website, foodandhealthfacts.com.

As a longtime journalist, speechwriter, and author, Rees has written for such esteemed publications as The Economist, The New Republic, and The Wall Street Journal. His writing has also appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, Reader’s Digest, and more.

He’s also co-authored several books, but his personal passion lies in nutrition. He pulls information and research from recent scientific studies, interviews, books and more, and makes them all easily digestible nuggets of truth on our toxic food culture and how it’s contributing to massive rates of disease and death throughout the country.

It is his mission to help us better understand how consuming unhealthy foods leads to the mess of chronic health issues we’re facing today as a society, but also provide understanding and solutions.
