## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    You eat? You read? This is for you.
  

*by V***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2018*

Some of the reviewers seem disappointed this book doesn't have diet advice, or a guide to "healthy" eating, and I think they really missed the point. Diets don't work, except for those who profit from selling them. Go in with a curious open mind and you will be rewarded. Sole-Smith digs way deeper than others have, following the science while keeping the human elements front and center. This book is a striking, elegant examination of a deceptively complicated topic. The stories are told with shocking candor, empathy and grace, and the evidence-based conclusions are artfully drawn. It's so full of heart and humor. As per the headline, if you eat, and you read (and you do both if you're still with me) this is well worth your time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    An overview of eating issues that will interest most everyone.
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2020*

It was especially eye-opening to read about trying to eat healthy on a restricted budget.  Very good book for anyone broadly interested in what has become of our most basic human need.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Some folks actually don't like to eat! Mind blown!
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2021*

Sole-Smith begins the book with the story of her baby's traumatic first couple of years, where she actually had to teach her to eat because her aversion was so strong. This book gave me an insight into all the ways a person can relate to food (besides eating too much of it...). I learned a lot. If you've got young kids, this is worth reading.
