good but not out West
|

This reference book is very well done, as far as it goes. However, many of the brand names are not available in the Rocky Mountain West. Also, the beer and wine selections which have been included are extremely narrow, and, in fact, laughable. Art Ulene is a good guy and a prolific author of nutrition references, but this one doesn't fill the bill for me.

I bought this book and returned it. Yes, it's FULL of everything it claims to be full of. It was WAY TOO much for me. If you want the nutritional value of a simple raw vegetable, it is hidden in the heaps of potato chips, pages of popcorn products and canned veges. For health minded people who DO NOT eat packaged/processed foods and at fast food establishments and want nutritional values of plain old raw foods (since packaged foods ALREADY HAVE a listing of nutritional values! and raw foods don't!), this is hard to use. Way overcumbersome and not user-friendly. For the rest, enjoy all the info and comparisons!

A Must Have For Everyone
|

Although this book is HUGE, it give all the info
people need. Grocery items, restaurant entrees,
EVERYTHING is listed. If you really want to know
what is in food, this is the book for you.
I am hypoglycemic and have to monitor my sugar and
carbohydrate intake. This book will help me be
able to eat healthy no matter where I go!
