Ironically, I just started this WOE last week, after buying NeanderThin, Hunt's Diet Evolution and (grrr!) the book in question. Lucky for me, I read NT and DE *first*. :) Of course, as a registered dietician, she's been fully steeped in all the "accepted" ways of thinking. Frankly I took a nutrition course in college, and they were at *least* 5 years behind on scientific information. To say nothing of the odds of going against the new and "improved" food pyramid? *discreet cough* Same old- same old... with a new spin for sales. She does have some interesting things to say. I'm reading through it, if only for the mental exercise of poking holes in arguements (or trying to). If anyone wants specifics on what she says on any topic, I'll be glad to see what's in there.
