Critics Review
“Recommended… . Lesica writes as though in dialogue with a hypothetical friend, … allow[ing] for a deceptively easy presentation on the relationships between diet, health, and human behavior.”
‘I wish I’d read this book when I was young. I wish my parents had read it. And I wish it was on the national curriculum, so that every child about the age of 12 or so would read it. Because it is not just accessible, it is comprehensive, clear, and seems about as accurate as the current scientific consensus. In short, it is a perfect tool for us to understand this aspect of our own bodies.’
