Whole: Rethinking the Science of Nutrition by T. Colin Campbell, Howard Jacobson

2.0

Another "meh" read. I feel like the whole time he was just bashing everyone, often defending his side of the story/research/experience (when the defense wasn't needed), and went through entirely too long of a story discussing something that I feel like could have been summed up in an Op-ed piece. Was the information listed interesting? Absolutely. Do I think a swinging change in diet would be more impactful than overuse of medicine and pharmas? Of course. But I would have liked to learn more about the practice of WFPB diet and its positive impacts--not just hear about the awfulness of the Pharm and Medical communities as pitted against the WFPB diet. Don't we know that already? However, I will say that maybe Campbell's prior (and current work) and his bashing of these communities IS why I know those communities are garbage and that nutrition is the most sound way for a person to help him/her self stay in good health (for the most part)...
