Hrmmm... I don't know. I think there are some good ideas here, but she gets too far over her skies and takes her metaphors too far beyond believability. I'm gonna need a lot more back-up for a lot of her claims. It's a good podcast or even essay, but I don't think she's got enough for a book. May DNF this one.

Brief mention of "the obesity epidemic" as a result of marketing selling us things we don't need telks me this author hasn't really investigated herself for her own biases that lead to cultish behavior. Despite being very well researched, I'm still left with the impression this is a shallow work and not quite as deep as the author wants it to be.
