In general I didn't like the book. I wanted something factual and it did provide some facts I didn't know. However, I found the book very preachy and judgmentall. I was particularly annoyed by the story of page 334 of his granddaughter who loves fruits and vegetables and never eats sweets because her mother never feeds her baby food from a jar. As a mother who worked a full time job, took care of 3 kids (one with special needs) and had no help at home......he's f****ing crazy if I was going to add one more chore to my list of to dos. ( I know it is a little comment but it stirs a BIG reaction in me!!!) It also contained information that had nothing to do with diabetes. On page 203-4 it tells me to shop more often because I'll minimize the energy needed to transport the food and because I might get to know the farmer who made the food. What does that have to do with my pre diabetes?… (más)
