vetstudent's Review of Gillian McKeith, You Are What You Eat
27th Aug 2004
Overall Rating
- Value for money
Self-test quizes are fairly good. Colourful layout with some interesting tips.
Bad Points
Condescending, with some information which is simply wrong.
General Comments
This book by 'Dr' Gillian McKeith is well laid-out, with attractive pictures and text which is easy to read. Unfortunately, a lot of the nutritional information in the book is spurious at best, and wholly wrong at worst. Followers of her regimen would find themselves believing that free-range eggs, for example, are the healthier choice than regular British eggs, which in my opinion is the view of only the most impressionable, ill-advised consumer. Also, whether to buy organic produce or not is a choice every person should make for themselves, as the label 'organic' is in no way an assurance of a products beneficial content, and is also a political choice.

"As the label 'organic' is in no way an assurance of a products beneficial content"
Absolutely. A perspicacious review if ever I read one. I look forward to the time when all this Health Food rubbish is given the old heave-ho.
