Library Journal Review
Unjunk Your Junk Food : Healthy Alternatives to Conventional Snacks
Library Journal
(c) Copyright Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
Donsky and Boyer are the cofounders of NaturallySavvy.com-a "guide to natural, organic, and green living"-and Tsakos is the chief nutrition expert for the site. Rather than expecting eaters to give up their favorite snacks, the authors here provide tips for reading labels and choosing healthier snack foods. They define terms such as enriched, fat free, low-fat, and organic. The book also includes comparisons of specific products such as butter-flavored popcorn from Orville Redenbacher and Newman's Own. The latter has more calories, total fat, and sodium; however, the authors prefer it because it doesn't have artificial flavor and color. A slew of other products are compared, including Doritos Nacho Cheese, Klondike Sandwiches, Nabisco Ginger Snaps, and Cool Whip. Verdict Instead of preaching to eaters about reading labels and being more conscientious, the authors give examples of products that shoppers can keep in the mind the next time they are faced with the option of Coca-Cola Classic or Blue Sky cola. Recommended for those seeking a practical, prescriptive shopping guide.-Carrie Scarr, West Fargo P.L., ND (c) Copyright 2012. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
