I did not read this book. I only skimmed it. It is terminally, morbidly, catastrophically boring and pointless. I also heard Dr. Kessler speak at the 2007 Cleveland Clinic Obesity Summit. David Kessler was the Food and Drug Commissioner under HW Bush and Bill Clinton. He has lots of other impressive credentials. He is a pediatrician like me. But whoa, I hope he was better at whatever else he did. If I can't read the book and comment on it more specifically, maybe I should just skip it, but this book has been recommended and so I need to at least list it.
