🌟 An Evening of Insight, Empowerment & Eye-Opening Conversations with Matthew Lysiak. 🌟

Last night, the Orange Hatter Women’s Reading Club gathered for a special meet & greet with Matthew Lysiak, author of Fiat Food.

After spending two months studying the book, we had the chance to ask him questions, hear about his writing process, and most importantly—have a real, unfiltered conversation about the forces shaping our food choices.

What started as a casual discussion quickly turned into something deeper. We talked about how money shapes what generations believe is “healthy” food, how falsified studies and selective reporting have led entire populations to trust misleading narratives, and—perhaps most importantly—what it would take to break free from these long-held illusions, carefully crafted to keep people from seeing the true impact of inflation.

One of the most powerful takeaways of the night? Our discussion about dignity and personal agency in health.

For decades, we’ve been told by “experts” that our health is out of our hands—that it’s all genetics, predetermined diseases, or conditions beyond our control.

But here’s the truth: when people believe their choices don’t matter, they stop trying. They stop believing in their own ability to improve their health. And that’s exactly how the system keeps people dependent.
