About this listen

A lot of people worry about eating the “wrong” food. Well-funded campaigns have spent years convincing you that some foods are good, some are bad, and some are downright evil.

It doesn’t have to be that way. Relax and Enjoy Your Food uses science and a little common sense to take away all that anxiety, and save you some money to boot. Once you let go of some ideas, it all gets simpler. There are no superfoods, no junk foods, and there aren’t even any health foods. There is just food, all of which provides some combination of the same seven basic things that all food does. That’s why the most specific advice you can get is to eat a variety of foods, mostly plants, not too much or too little. That’s it.

The diet and wellness industries, along with the supplement industry, have deep pockets and ill intent. Their primary victims are women, but everybody gets caught up in their web. After listening to this book, you’ll be able to leave all that behind, eat a healthy diet, even reach and maintain a healthy weight. In short, you’ll be able to relax and enjoy your food.

In a world where woo is everywhere it's good to know there's a simple, easy to listen to, book that helps guide you and give you some perspective on what food really is. Craig is funny and his narration is excellent. Well worth a listen.

This is not a diet book!! And that's great!!

There is so much misinformation and fear mongering being thrown about in recent times about food by self proclaimed gurus, nutritionists, wellness coaches and food babes that people are becoming afraid to eat: processed = bad, if a 5th grader can’t pronounce a chemical compound found in it then it’s bad for you, gluten is bad for everyone, organic is healthier, nothing natural can be harmful, only one particular diet is guaranteed to work, meat causes cancer, microwaved food causes cancer, cooked food causes cancer, preservatives cause cancer, anything that isn’t “natural” causes cancer, BUT cancer can be cured with a special diet, etc. With so many celebrities, bloggers, influencers, TV doctors, and good old fashioned snake oil salesmen spreading so much misinformation about the food we eat (all the while lining their own pockets), people are so confused about what foods are good for them.

Craig Good examines the pseudoscience surrounding the modern day health food industry, the meaningless buzzwords used to sell certain foods at higher prices (“superfoods” for example), fad diets such as paleo and keto, that cutting out gluten is better for one’s health (those with Celiac’s disease are the only ones who need to avoid gluten), that meat causes cancer (a misunderstanding of the findings of the 2015 WHO report on carcinogens in red meats that certain vegan and animal rights interest groups either misinterpreted or intentionally misrepresented), and many, many other food myths.

I bought this audiobook after hearing an interview with the author on the Skeptic Zone Podcast and I cannot recommend it enough. Do check this book out and , as the title recommends, be sure to relax and enjoy your food.

Also as someone who has a family member who battled anorexia, I am happy that Good’s daughter beat this terrible illness.

An Excellent Look at Food Myths
