helio's review against another edition
The layman explanation of scientific processes that center around nutrition were useful. There's handful of them in the book. However, the process of sifting for nuggets of peer reviewed information in-between the constant "ironic" degradation, misinformation (10 pages in, there was a blurb about how fruit "rots" in your stomach - just not true,) and genially unfunny prose makes this book a chore. It reads like many early 00's books where writers realized they could cuss and still get published - then cranked it up to 10.
Moderate: Eating disorder and Self harm
The book almost seems like it wants you to have an eating disorder. It isn't focused on health, just the appearance of it. It acts as if fatness, or large bodies are inherently unhealthy, and it just full of wrong information regarding food. There is no aspect of the book that talks about food as good fuel for the body, it is about eating to stay thin.
