I really wanted to like this book, but I’m not gonna finish it because I just can’t get it to it. It is, to me, really boring.

An enjoyable summary of the benefits of a plant predominant diet, from human health to planetary health. I’m adding to my list of resources to share when asked. 😉

Creepy. And fascinating how this female author writes the conversations among the group of male guests in the guesthouse- re: the frailties of women.

The nutrition section is pretty stupid. The author is introducing the ideas of calorie density and hedonic hunger as though they’re revolutionary new concepts. He positions himself as an expert in nutrition at the beginning of this section, but it’s very clear he that he is not. Possibly an expert on the media’s view of nutrition, but that’s all.

The characters in this book are on a knife’s edge so much of the time. It’s exhausting. But, I’m drawing near the end and I don’t want to leave them so soon.

I’m fairly sure that means they’re beautifully written. I’m very impressed with Zadie Smith.
