Pretty good

This book is a fairly good introduction to the far-reaching study of nutrition. However there were a few very old-fashioned comments made about vegetarianism and veganism. The attitude towards these diets in light of all the emerging research that vegetarianism is one of the most healthful diets for the human body is rather archaic. The authors comment that one can survive on a vegetarian diet, but that a lot of caution needs to go into it when it is really very simple. They also argue that the vegan diet is deficient in many nutrients that are actually very easy to get. They also claim that the macrobiotic diet can lead to death and implied this potentially good diet should be avoided.

Nutrition, It's good for you!

This was a required text for my college nutrtion course. It was very useful and helpful for me when I wanted to learn how to combine foods for the most nutrient rich diet for my family. I have a young child and wanted to learn the best foods to optimize his health. There was a chapter specific to his age group, as well as chapters on nutrient needs for the pregnant and lacting mother. I was fascinated by the wealth of information this text provides. The authors need to review some of their end of chapter tests and be certain that they have answered correctly.
