About this listen

In Food and Nutrition: What Everyone Needs to Know®, nutrition scientist and gastronome Dr. P. K. Newby provides a sweeping overview of the many interrelationships between humans, land, and food. What are today's major global nutrition problems - and are they preventable? Is it possible to retrain the palate to prefer healthier foods? How exactly do our dietary choices impact the land, water, and air that surround us? And what's the best way to live to 100, and beyond?

In 147 stand-alone questions spanning 20 chapters, Newby examines topics including key nutrition concepts behind good eating; the technology, biology, and psychology of food choices; how diet affects our health and environment; and evidence-based tips for creating lasting behavior change. At the same time, Newby debunks popular myths and food folklore, challenging listeners to "learn, unlearn, and relearn" the fundamentals of nutrition at the heart of a health-giving diet. Her passion for all things food shines through it all, as does her love of the power of science, technology, ingenuity, and engineering to help create healthier, more sustainable diets for everyday eaters and students of nutrition alike.

It’s a good attempt to cover a huge topic but I had three criticisms. Firstly, the clumsy use of acronyms - if I’m 15 chapters into a book, I don’t need commonly known acronyms explained to me for the third or fourth time. Secondly, the writer’s bias creeps with regards to plant diets and climate change, and lastly the narrator took some time to get used to.

This wasn’t the thorough exploration of the topic I thought it would be.

Not as good as I’d hoped it would be

Fine book with science based information. Interesting and educational, but not te end all be all it claimes to be (At least for me).

Informational

so I have listened to plenty of books around the topic of food and nutrition some of which have been drab , others that have been awesome. I tend to listen in the car and this book is DRAB. I got to chapter 3 and thought to myself "I haven't listened to any of this ". Maybe there is some good content beyond my tolerance levels but WoW this is drab.

wow
