This review is from: Adventures in Food and Nutrition! (Hardcover)

I ordered this Nutrition book thinking we could use it in our household for reference, but didn't think to look at the publish date. What I got was a very outdated book from the early 80's with tacky drawings and an outmoded Food Pyramid. Oh well, live and learn.
