Werebear, thanks for your useful list of preferred book sources. I'll keep it in mind.

As for How toEat-- Not entirely. Their "common sense" is don't eat highly processed industrial junk. The mantra they repeat: fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, beans and lentils, and good fats like olive oil and fatty fish. Everything else (except highly processed foods) in small amounts to suit yourself.

As far as I can tell, they do not deal with food addictions and afflictions, and many other individual details. This is not a book about weight loss. Presumably, if people eat as outlined above, healthy weight and good health will naturally ensue. Actually, on a population scale, this may be true. Our food environment and bad habits make this unlikely, however, to occur.

Again, this could be called "Eating for Dummies." These authors manage to avoid "Eat less, move more" as the universal solution. I give them that.
