I highly recommend this book. She goes into many things, like how the supermarket is set up (good for profits, bad for your waist); some interesting things about nutrition (why you really do need some carbs); the politics of the FDA & USDA; safety concerns, processed vs. unprocessed foods; marketing towards children; etc. Yes, it is over 500 pages, but it’s worth every page. It made me more aware of what I am buying and she gave good recommendations & tools to make smart decisions without being overly preachy.

For example: think of sodas & fruit juices as desserts; they shouldn’t be everyday affairs.
