Down Home Cooking

Last night I went down to my local Barnes & Noble to see Feeding You Lies on the shelves. It was surreal seeing years of research and the truth about the food industry smack dab on the New Releases table at the front of the store (see a live video below)… This information is now out and no one can stop it from spreading. Thank you for getting your book this week and sharing it with those that you love!
