A fight against the food industry turns deadly.

"Rubin is a masterful storyteller who weaves her medical knowledge into a gripping thriller, diving head-first into a meaty subject that has been ignored for far too long. Eating Bull paints a disturbing portrait of a society in denial and delivers characters that get under your skin and stay there."--Dianne Gray, award-winning Australian author of Soul's Child and The Everything Theory
"Bullied and pummeled just because of the heavy burden his waistline carries, Jeremy and a tough public health nurse take on the giants of junk food, drawing Darwin to them as surely as a wasp. And so the murdering begins. A fast-paced thriller with a climax that nails it."--Frederick Anderson, author of I Am Cara, The Butterfly Man, and Hallbury Summer
