Why was she so obsessed with rehashing the foods of her childhood? It seemed like a third of the book was spent bad mouthing the food she grew up with (which seemed typical of any American family diet in the 1970s) without drawing any real parallels to her disease. I am glad she figured out what is wrong with her and is now eating so well, but her condescension was overwhelming and a real turn-off to me as a reader. She also repeated herself in many of the chapters.
