Fiat Food & the Engineered Decline of Our Health with Matthew Lysiak
Manage episode 493859889 series 2013882
What if the obesity epidemic, chronic illness, and skyrocketing food prices weren't accidents—but deliberate outcomes of a broken monetary system? Investigative journalist Matthew Lysiak joins us to break down the real story behind his book Fiat Food: Why Inflation Destroyed Our Health and How Bitcoin Fixes It. From Nixon's 1971 gold shock to today's ultra-processed diets, we trace how fiat currency enabled the state to subsidize low-quality food, manipulate public health narratives, and keep the population sick, fat, and compliant. This episode is a mind-bending journey through money, food, power—and how to break free.
