I think I love long-form journalism. Although I wasn't as blown away by this book as I was by The Omnivore's Dilemma, I did really appreciate this, especially the deep dive into “nutrionism.” I don't think any of the final suggestions were new to me, but it was interesting to read about how the Western diet has broken food down into its component parts – and perhaps not to our benefit.
