Is it possible to fit everything one needs to know about nutrition in under 300 pages?
P.K. Newby makes a valiant attempt. Newby begins by framing current global malnutrition
and environmental challenges and making the case that food matters. The next section,
a history of dining and farming practices that covers paleolithic time periods through
current pop culture, gives perspective to current dining and agricultural practices.
In this and the next sections on food and nutrients, theauthor uses numerous studies
to settle controversies regarding food. Questions related to dairy, grains, animal
products, alcohol, and even tea and coffee are asked and answered. The book concludes
with common dietary recommendations and predictions of how technological advances
might impact the future of food and nutrition.
