The Angry Chef's Guide to Spotting Bullsh*t in the… av Anthony Warner
An entertaining reminder that there's currently no such thing as a silver bullet when it comes to food, no matter how much our brains want to believe otherwise.
I've read half of Ein Koch packt aus. Enough. The major difference between Anthony Warner and most of the people he complains about is that Warner has done his research, and most of what he says is scientifically based. This difference is, as I said, major. However he covers it over with layers of the same type of verbiage that the others use, and you sometimes have to read carefully to figure out whether he wants to praise or condemn one of the ideas he describes.

A brilliant and accessible book that tackles all of the most popular quackery around food and diet. If my mother-in-law believes it, it is debunked in this book.
Det här är en av LibraryThings förhandsrecensioner.Professional chef turned blogger Anthony Warner examines the complex problem of obesity in modern society. Obesity rates have been rising throughout the world, and especially in Great Britain and the United States. Warner looks at the problem, addresses several plausible theories to explain obesity, and discusses potential solutions.
Warner has an undergraduate degree in science, and the bibliographic notes cite research journals rather than popular literature. Warner also interviewed experts such as nutritionists and endocrinologists. Warner engagingly addresses a non-specialist audience. Readers looking for a “magic bullet” to solve the problem of obesity won’t find it here. On the other hand, readers who want a better understanding of the complexity of the problem will find this book a good place to start.
This review is based on an advance reading copy provided by the publisher through LibraryThing’s Early Reviewers program.… (mer)
