review 1: I don't eat out very often, but the photographs and explanations in this series even make sense for the home cook. Basically, for every disaster there is another dish you can actually eat. You're going to cut sauces, fried foods, butter and cheese - but you'll understand why. I've started ordering some of these dishes, and have asked my friends if we can make alternate arrangements when they suggest the Cheesecake Factory. I'm a crappy dieter in general but this book really shows how bad even the "healthy" menu items can be. I really liked this book because the photographs really help the message stick in my head, it gives you real useful tips for ordering at restaurants (fresca! protein-style!) and the tips on the worst menu items are truly memorable (1800 calorie kid's p... moreortions!?!?!?). I know I could choose a more socially responsible diet, like the time I was vegan and nearly killed myself with food allergies, but right now this book (series) is fascinating and useful to how I actually eat.
review 2: Even more useful to those of us who don't cook than the Supermarket Survival Guide. I learn a lot from these books. For example, did you know that 96% of American children recognize Ronald McDonald's face? And that studies reveal: "children think that McDonald's-branded foods taste better than the same product served without any labels attached. That was true for burgers, French fries, chicken nuggets, and carrot sticks (which McDonald's doesn't even offer).” Wow! That said, since we all end up at McDonald's eventually, at least now you know not to order the Vanilla Triple Thick Shake (large, 1,110 calories and 26 grams of fat!!). I'll never be able to drink a shake again. less
