Against the Grain
The Lie!
“We were tricked into believing that red meat clogs arteries, that butter is dangerous, and that cereal is part of a balanced breakfast. But, if we judge by results, it’s clear something has gone terribly wrong.”
You are What You Eat!
Against the Grain
As early as the mid-20th century, scientists began sounding alarms about the impact of processed foods and refined carbohydrates on the brain, metabolism, and body composition. These warnings were often drowned out by industry-funded messaging, advertising the “health benefits” of cereal, margarine, and low-fat everything. Meanwhile, the food pyramid placed grains at the base — a decision that would fuel epidemics for decades.
Against the Grain offers a way to turn back the clock and refuel. Follow the steps to modify your diet, and stay healthy, or in deed, get your good health back.

This wasn’t done in ignorance.

We live in boxes, wake to alarms, move little, eat often. We are fed from vending machines, cardboard packages, microwave trays. Our food is coloured, sweetened, puffed, powdered, and packaged. It promises energy but delivers fatigue. It promises health but delivers illness. Something is deeply wrong, and most of us feel it — even if we can’t name it.
