Fatal Conveniences

“Bending the planet to our will comes at a cost—a debt to human and environmental well-being we’ve packaged, sold, and blindly incurred that has now come due. Darin Olien’s Fatal Conveniences provides a stunning and urgent reconciliation of the many invisible ways the convenience of modern products we trust—our food, our homes, our clothing—are in truth shockingly toxic, buffered with pragmatic solutions for a healthier future. An evidence-based primer for better living, this book is a must-read reality check, offering a better way forward for all.” — Rich Roll, bestselling author of Finding Ultra”Darin’s eye-opening book is a necessary education for us all to understand the invisible challenges of how our health is being harmed by modern toxic exposures. Alongside the shocking discoveries presented herein, Darin shares very pragmatic solutions leading to a healthier and better way forward for us and our environment.” — Max Lugavere, New York Times bestselling author of Genius Foods and host of the Genius Life podcast”Fatal Conveniences is a book the world has been waiting for, a compendium of what we don’t know, weren’t told, and are lied to about: the presence of synthetic toxins that are deceptively but deliberatively added to our food, cosmetics, clothing, and homes. Darin’s research is revelatory and shocking, a what-to-do-manual for living purely, cleanly, and simply.” — Paul Hawken, Executive Director, Project Regeneration
