Summary

Black Market Food delves into the shadowy world of the illegal food trade, revealing how consumer desires fuel a global network of food smuggling, impacting both conservation and international security. Discover the surprising motivations behind seeking out prohibited delicacies and the innovative techniques used to transport these goods across borders, circumventing regulations. The book highlights how this isn't just isolated incidents but a significant issue affecting endangered species and fragile ecosystems.

 
The book unfolds by first establishing the legal frameworks defining illegal foods, then exploring case studies with insights from law enforcement and conservationists. It examines the environmental impact, public health concerns, and global security implications of the black market. Through investigations into items like black market caviar from dwindling sturgeon populations and poached pangolins in Southeast Asia, Black Market Food demonstrates how consumer choices drive devastating consequences, blending true crime with food writing.

 
The book connects criminology, environmental science, economics, and public health, providing a comprehensive perspective on this complex issue and empowering readers to make informed choices. By understanding the criminal networks, ecological consequences, and economic incentives, readers gain insight into the hidden forces shaping our world.

    Carbs aren't causing your weight gain. Dairy may not be the reason for your upset stomach. And your liver isn't fatty because of the occasional hamburger. It's time to enjoy eating everything again—and to reclaim our health along the way. Eat Everything offers a better alternative to complicated, minimally effective, and highly restrictive diets. Physician Dawn Harris Sherling lays out compelling new evidence implicating food additives as the real culprits behind diet-related diseases and shares simple, actionable advice to heal. 
     
     
     
    Digging into emerging research, Dr. Sherling realized it's not the foods but the food additives, especially emulsifiers, that are at the root of our problems. Our bodies can't digest them, but they're everywhere in the ultra-processed foods that make up about half of our daily diets. In this refreshing and accessible guide, listeners will learn: 
     
     
     
    ● How to lose weight without a restrictive diet 
     
     
     
    ● Why so many popular ultra-processed foods are actively harmful to our bodies 
     
     
     
    ● How to navigate eating at restaurants
