In addition, Dr. Fuhrman has written several other popular books on nutritional science which include: Eat for Health (Gift of Health Press), Disease Proof Your Child (St. Martin's Griffin), Fasting and Eating for Health (St. Martin's Griffin) and the Dr. Fuhrman's Nutritarian Handbook and ANDI Food Scoring Guide (Gift of Health Press). Twenty-five years in the making, Fast Food Genocide draws on Dr. Fuhrman’s extensive clinical experience and research into the science of nutrition to show how our addiction to fast food and processed food is the source of a national health crisis—one that has tragic implications for society. With the contribution from Robert Philips and other social historians, this book identifies issues at the heart of our country’s most urgent problems. Fast food kills, but it also perpetuates bigotry and derails the American dream of equal opportunity and happiness for all. It leaves behind a wake of destruction creating millions of medically dependent and sickly people burdened with a poor quality of life.
