CHAPTER

The Hidden Cost of Modern Diets

This chapter discusses the hidden cost of modern diets and the problems they cause to our bodies. They explain that overeating is the biggest issue in the modern food environment and that everyone has the ability to store fat.

When the amount of food consumed exceeds the energy expended, fat starts accumulating in places where it shouldn't, leading to disease.
