I wanted to like this book, as I do respect Marion Nestle's place in the modern food movement pushing back against some of the marketing and corporate interests -- but I couldn't. I felt that she was trying to be fair and thorough, but when faced with difficult or conflicting information, she did what most of us do -- fall back on pat answers and unconscious biases. For example, in her product comparisons, she never questions the 'saturated fat is evil' premise, and often uses it as a final deciding factor. Her overall advice is sensible -- don't get pushed around by reductionism and worry about any individual food too much -- but I wasn't thrilled with the overall quality vs. quantity of her writing.
