Anyone read Food Politics?

January 8, 2004

or " Safe Food: Bacteria, Biotechnology, and Bioterrorism " by n Nestle?

She's a PhD who seems to actually be taking on the food industry. She doesn't

talk too much about nutrition recommendations, and she probably is in the lowfat

camp, but I wonder if she and Sally have made contact as their agendas do seem

to coincide somewhat. Her website is www.foodpolitics.com. I'll be curious to

see what her newest book " What to Eat " will say...

Yes, I read it. It does have some good information in it, but she's not just in

the lowfat camp, she is RABIDLY in the lowfat camp. She positively froths at the

mouth in indignation at any suggestion that eating fat, especially saturated

fat, has not been well-proven to be extremely hazardous to our health.

---------->yep. i read " food politics " and was disappointed that

nestle was strongly anti saturated fat. however, she does a good job

of exposing the politics of the food industry (including the gov't's

role) and the book is worth reading for that aspect.
