This had a lot of interesting science and history behind how we eat, but unfortunately it was spoiled by a recurring moral undertone. Despite the final "this is not advice" list which says food isn't a moral issue (and which also has such gems as "No one is too busy to cook") it keeps popping up--particular foods are praised or scorned, referred to as "real" foods, and so on. While Wilson may not view food itself as moral, the questions of healthfulness and obesity in particular are viewed through a good/bad lens. It's not simply content to be an impartial view of how we learn to eat, but Wilson sees it as a lens for change. ( )

Good, and thought-provoking

Enlightening as to how I learned to eat. It articulated some of what I had guessed for awhile, but expanded on so much more. It is encouraging to know I can break out of my food ruts. ( )

I enjoyed this book. Very informative - led me to thinking about my eating habits in a new way.
