UrbanSculpt LLC. is pleased to announce publication of a new book which delivers a shocking exposé of America’s life-threatening relationship with junk food.
The book, “Chain Reaction: America’s Toxic Love Affair with Chain Restaurants,” authored by Brenda Rivera-Billings, M.Sc., is now available on Amazon Kindle. ($2.99).
“Chain Reaction” lifts the lid off the multitude of ways in which today’s love of fast food and comfort food is having a devastating effect on the overall health of the nation.
Rivera-Billings said, “Many of our most beloved dishes act as toxic time bombs, contributing to an unsustainable health epidemic in our country. In my book I explain the grave risks that Americans face if they don’t pay attention to all of the urgent warning signs. I also clearly list the foods that we should avoid to get on the path to a life and a body that’s healthy and in balance.”
In “Chain Reaction,” which is part of UrbanSculpt’s Book-a-Day series, Rivera-Billings reports on one recent study which revealed that the comfort foods served up in several chain restaurants contained more than a whopping 5,000 calories in a single entrée, several times the entire recommended daily allowance.
Her book begins with a discussion of the revealing and groundbreaking 2004 documentary “Super Size Me” and explains how America’s lover affair with calorie-dense food began and grew, along with our waistlines. She goes on to outline the dangers of sugars, fats and salt and makes us aware of the deceptive marketing and labeling claims that permeate the industry.
