About this title: Walter C. Willett of the Harvard Medical School takes issue with the traditional way of looking at what we should be eating. Scanning the history of the famous "food pyramid," he points out that it was devised not by nutritionists but by the Department of Agriculture, as a way of promoting American crops such as corn, wheat, and dairy products. Willett prefers a diet less carbohydrate-laden, with more concentration on vegetables, fruits, and "good" fats, and he also--quite sensibly--points out that, no matter how ideal one's diet, exercise is a vital component of good health.

"I'm not sure I learned anything new, but at least this book confirmed my eating choices as being good ones. My husband read a tiny bit and learned (FINALLY) that soda is bad for him. If only he'd read on..."
"Straight-forward and sensible information about how to eat well and still be healthy. There are no radical ideas here, but the material is presented clearly, and Willett does a good job of explaining why he makes the suggestions and claims he does. His ideas are based on solid research, and don't require you to make huge changes in your lifestyle, unless you eat incredibly poorly. Not a diet book, and not a fad-anything book, but great reading for anyone who wants to live better."
