Good Food is a great resource,
By A Customer
This review is from: Good Food: The Comprehensive Food and Nutrition Resource (Paperback)
Margaret Wittenberg has hit on just the right approach in this easily read reference book/cook book: everything you'll need to know to shop, cook, and understand the foods that keep us healthy. Food information galore; I use this compendium at least 3 times per week. Checking "how to's" and "what is that" and "why is this bad" and "what is better". And I keep the "pocket guide" in my shopping bag so it's handy when I'm reading labels in the grocery store. Indespensible to anyone who cares about what they eat. This book won't overwhelm anyone---it's accessible, organized information.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great source for understanding & preparing whole foods!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Good Food: The Comprehensive Food and Nutrition Resource (Paperback)
When delving into the world of correct eating habits, where do you start? Good Food tells all without being judgemental. Find out about storage, preparation, cooking (not many recipes, though) & the reason to eat whole foods versus the processed foods that our manufacturers "suggest". Well organized & very educational. It does make you think about what you have been feeding yourself (especially we Americans...is processed food killing us?) Highly recommended for those trying to feed their children the right way (proper nutrition is so important...do you think Fruit Loops & Fruit Roll-Ups constitute a fruit?). This book could change your life! Buy it now!

This book truly is the COMPLETE Guide to Eating Well,
By Misha's Mom (austin, tx United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Good Food: The Comprehensive Food and Nutrition Resource (Paperback)
Whenever I am unsure of an ingredient or a way a food is processed this is THE book that I use as my resource. Margaret has taken the time to do all the research....all I have to do is look in the index! What a timesaver! Thanks Margaret for putting all the answers to questions one might have while on the road to better health via our food choices! I have found your books to be ones that I always trust for truthful and unbiased information!
