I have to say I was quite disappointed by this book. Kessler has great credentials, and I expected a fairly dense tome full of facts and figures. Instead, this is a breeze of a book - I finished it in less than three hours - full of examples using Kessler's own food idiosyncrasies. His prescription for how to break the cycle sounds an awful lot like Weight Watchers, quite honestly. I don't really see anything new here for anyone with more than a passing interest in the food industry. I mean, big surprise, Applebee's doesn't employ massive numbers of sous chefs in their restaurants, it all comes to them premade and ready to heat up. I suppose if you had no interest whatsoever in where your food came from and all of a sudden it was sprung on you that a chicken nugget isn't really the same thing as a chicken leg, well, it might be valuable.
