In my opinion Author loses all credibility when she goes off the topic of nutrition. A few examples. Preaching the qualities of an electric car, about the earth being overpopulated and the solution is to educate women, tells people they have to complain to store mangers when they see candy at kids eye level, and complaining about low minimum wage. She is not an expert on these things but clearly has an agenda and is using a college book to share her opinion as fact.

Why you can’t just teach nutrition and nutrition only is beyond me.

I read this for a nutrition class and really enjoyed the chapters detailing how food is digested and used in the body. It got a little stranger later when the chapter on supplements, which the author truly does not believe in, yet a chapter later when dealing with pregnancy, apparently supplements are fine then! Still a very interesting treatment of nutrition. I learned a lot.

This is really one of the best textbooks I’ve had and it provides some great resources.
