Could have been 1/4th of the length. The book includes many interesting knowledge and ideas, however the author spends too much time on details which doesn't bring a lot to the topic. Also last chapters seems like Mr. Diamond was all the time trying to sell us dietary guidelines and tell that salt and sugar are bad. I would have been ok with that if the book didn't seem to aim a little bit higher...
