Review: No scientific backing

Most books I've read regarding eating habits have at least a touch of science to back up what the author has said. This book was a compilation of quotes from different people whose quote may or may not have anything to do with food or eating. There were also some good tips about what to eat, and how to (possibly) curb your cravings. But, no research or medical evidence was provided to support this author's opinion. Does the food industry put ingredients in food so we will become addicted? If so, I'd like to see hard evidence.I also have a very hard time believing this statement, directly from the book: "I read an email from a so called expert talking about how you have to eat much fewer calories to be lean. I hate seeing so many people brainwashed with this bad information." Seriously? I understand that many people do eat low calorie, nutrient poor and highly processed "diet foods." This does not mean they can avoid calorie counting to lose weight - that's a proven fact.Oh well --  if you want to purchase this book, then do that. There are many other books on "eating right" out there, written by credentialed authors, who can back their information with RESEARCH, that are much better than this one!
