{"product_id":"2940016197517","title":"Amber Waves of Gain","description":"Gene Ladd calls on his years as a journalist and his studies of natural health and nutrition to document the real causes of obesity in America. He found that it is not caused by sedentary activities such as TV and computers, or a lack of exercise. Nor, are Americans lazy and indulgent. The facts in Amber Waves of Gain place the blame for obesity on the government corruption that has allowed the adulteration of the food delivery system. He not only lists the hidden ingredients in our food that are triggers of obesity, but also he names the names of those involved in the dirty politics that allowed those ingredients into our food supply against the recommendations of staff scientists.  His book includes guidelines to self-discovery and food choices to help the readers get control of their weight without expensive equipment, drugs or special exotic diets. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeet the author, Gene Ladd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGene grew up in the mountains of Western North Carolina near Asheville where he experienced his first vision quest when he was ten years old.
