Customer Reviews
Good for reference. Needs and RDA chart/appendices
The book is great for at home reference. Much more in depth than most books of its kind. Lists fat, saturated fat, fiber, cal., etc. Major vitamins and minerals. The book is lacking an RDA chart and could use more info on what are desired consumption values. Also could use a chapter on how to read food labels and how to use the info on the label.
A good value for the price.
Outdated! This is important......
This WAS an excellent reference at one time. Folks, food information needs to be kept up to date. Basically, any food almanac needs to be updated every 2 years at least! Brands change, food are improved, ingredients are added or removed. Foods get better and foods get worse.
This book was comprehensive. Not now. Many of the brands in the book have changed. Some have MUCH less fat, fewer calories, etc.
If they would release a new edition, I would consider it. This is going to be returned to Amazon. There are plenty of others.
My best advice, go to your local book store, peruse and review a few, then buy a CURRENT selection you like best from Amazon since you will likely save money!
Don't Be Fooled By Its' Size
At first glance this book seems to be a comprehensive guide to food values both generically and by brand, but the information it contains could have been printed in a book a third its' size. It is unnecessarilly redundant.
For example, if you are looking up sliced cheese from the deli, it lists many brands, but they all have essentially the same values. The book also frequently omits the "lite" version of such items.
Save your money and buy a pocket book. This book is not much better than one.
