Book Review: The Dietitian’s Dilemma by Michelle Hurn, RD

The Dietitian’s Dilemma might just be my new all-time favorite book. In the span of about 200 pages, Michelle Hurn delivers equal parts memoir, inspiration, history, scientific analysis, and guidebook toward a future of much more robust health – for us as individuals and collectively as a culture. She offers an honest critique of current dietary recommendations, an objective explanation for how they became the standard, and guidelines for more nourishing alternatives. To do this without a hint of dogma is quite an achievement. I can’t recommend The Dietitian’s Dilemma highly enough. May its message travel far and wide, particularly where children and patients depend on others for their nourishment.
