Showing results for "Oil!" in Agricultural & Food Sciences

A powerful exposé that reveals how “heart-healthy” seed oils have silently sabotaged our health—and how returning to real, natural fats can restore vitality, balance, and truth to the modern diet. For decades, we were told to trade butter for margarine, and lard for “vegetable oil.” We followed the experts’ advice—and paid the price. Chronic inflammation, obesity, heart disease, and fatigue have all skyrocketed since the so-called “healthy oils” took over our kitchens.

Oil and Honey is McKibben's account of two necessary and mutually reinforcing sides of the global climate fight - from the center of the maelstrom and from the growing hive of small-scale local answers. With empathy and passion he makes the case for a renewed commitment on both levels, telling the story of raising one year’s honey crop and building a social movement that’s still cresting.
