The book Eat This Not That! Supermarket Survival Guide is fantastic! I recently bought it, and even though I had previously studied a lot about nutrition, it was a real eye-opener. (follow the above link for more info and for pricing.)
It's difficult to decipher what's healthy and what's not when looking at today's food labels. This book makes it simple to make the right food choices. A lot of it is common sense, but there's still a lot of misinformation on labels and not enough regulation. The author digs into all the food categories. Then there's an explanation as to why a group of products are better in comparison to another group.
For instance did you know that grass fed beef is much healthier (and naturally leaner) than an all vegetarian corn fed beef product? Do you know which fish is lower in contaminants while keeping a high level of omega-3? Which microwave popcorn is the best choice? Pretzels? Deli meat? It's all included in the book. (I love the great food additive glossary in the back of the book.)
There are three books total, but I have only read the one "Supermarket Survival Guide". The other two books are Eat This Not That! for Kids! and Eat This, Not That! (original). I might buy the original version as well.
A little about the authors: David Zinczenko is the editor-in-chief of Men's Health magazine & editorial director of Women's Health and Best Life. Matt Goulding is the food & nutrition editor of Men's Health.
Great Review! How much is the book? DW and I are on a nutrition kick. Does the book have any healthy, easy recipes? or do you know of any.
Can you get “grass fed” beef in New England? I know its common in Texas and that is why the beef taste better (so I’m told).
When camping it is hard to eat right I’m finding

Grass fed beef is sold here as well, it’s just more expensive.
