Food Isn't Medicine: Challenge Nutrib*llocks & Escape the Diet Trap by Joshua Wolrich
5.0
Cw: food (obviously), diet culture, disordered eating, discussion of fatphobia
Notable good things: promoting health AND enjoyment in life, anti-fatphobia, good recognition of privileges including socio-economic factors that affect food options, and critical analysis of research (though may not suit people with no background in scrutinising research as some concepts require prior knowledge)
One sentence summary: a summary of what food can and can’t do for your health, with several myths, “scientific” claims and diets explored
Writing: 5/5
Accessibility: need some knowledge
Anecdotes vs data: predominantly research (appropriate for book)
Applications: lots to apply to life
Favourite quote: A healthy diet can look different depending on who you are talking to and what else is going on in their life, at that moment in time.
Disclaimer: this is my opinion.
