Book criticized for bland tone and weak critique
Michael Jacobson of the Center for Science in the Public Interest says the book is loaded with useful information yet tediously bland and avoids sharp criticism of unhealthy foods. He notes most data exist on government sites, and the USDA is not credited as author. The piece points readers to free online resources and links for BMI, dietary guidelines, and healthy recipes.

The Journal of the American Medical Association reports higher early mortality for gastric banding up to 5 percent in men and nearly 3 percent in women ages 35 to 44, with higher rates in patients 45 to 54. NYU’s Christine Ren notes surgeon experience is crucial while bariatric surgeries rise, from 13,365 in 1998 to 72,177 in 2002, projected to 218,000 by 2010.
