Don't read this book if you're in recovery from disordered eating. The author manages to bring up obesity and issues with food in places that seemingly had nothing to do with diet.
Otherwise, read on. It's an interesting book, though it definitely has a pessimistic view of everything from farming practices to medicine to our future. I disagree with the author on a very basic level, and I think some of his reading of certain scientific studies is suspect. I suppose I hope readers read this with a skeptical mind and don't let his worldview replace yours.
