Title: I really wanted to like this book
Product review: I wanted to like this book. Satter has been recommended by people who share my beliefs about child development and child rearing--ie. honoring autonomy, encouraging self regulation, authoritative not authoritarian parent-child relationship. However, the info on nutrition and food is so disappointingly poor and inaccurate. The menus, recipes, cooking info, nutrition advice come out of the 70s-- canned mushroom soup? bread and butter with every dinner? meal patterns based on fats, carbs and proteins? Margerine? Sugar is not harmful to the body? Instant Ramen? A hamburger, bun and fries are a decent meal?I kept looking at the publish date to make sure this book wasn't written in 1977. It was actually in 2008.
