Nearly half of the population is considered obese. 88 million American adults are pre-diabetic and 100 million have high blood pressure. People continue to try fad diets, cut fat, reduce carbs and eliminate sugar, but it's not making a dent. 

In his new book, The End of Craving, Mark Schatzker takes a deep dive into food and its purpose. He believes that by restoring the relationship between nutrition and the essential joy of eating, we can live longer and happier lives.
