This “Eater’s Manual” is a quick and enjoyable read which goes through some basic food hygiene recommendations in 64 highly-digestible rules. Bye-bye diet fads, hello common sense. Like most books on the topic, this one also denounces the inner contradictions of the food and health industries and the collusion between them and the political power to keep us eating “healthy junk food” (read: which will still kill you, but not as fast - for more on this topic, see also The World is Fat by Barry Popkin). Most of the ideas in this book were not really new to me but I truly enjoyed the author’s spirit and wit. Can’t wait to read “The omnivore’s dilemma” and “The architecture of daydreams” (come on Amazon, faster!!).
