it's the same textbook as the fifth edition, but just rearranged in order to make a new edition. there isn't any new information in it, so you might as well get a prior edition for a fraction of the cost. but this isn't why it's a bad book. this is what's wrong with it:1. the approach to treating malnutrition is always case by case when the first thing you learn is that there are 925 million people living with chronic hunger. as i pointed out in class, treating one person for malnutrition will leave 924,999,999 people that are still malnourished. so, the one-on-one approach to treatment is wrong. but more than wrong, it is immoral and criminal.2. as if in terror of getting sued by the beef / cattle and poultry industry, this textbook completely glosses over the fact that these factory farms have consistently put growth hormones and antibiotics in their products with absolutely no accountability. it's important to know why and how their interest groups are operating in washington d.c., why it is illegal to film factory farms, and why these facilities are not open to the public.3. it mentions in passing that some of the agricultural practices are not sustainable, but it continues on to provide these foods as an option to our diet4. this textbook never tells you that the majority of people who eat pork have trichinosis5. completely glosses over difficulties and dysfunction associated with health. for example, on pg 277 (life cycle nutrition: the mature adult / exercise), it says "recommendations for exercise in the older adult are the same as for the younger adult", without pointing out that the older adult will have to go through a lot of pain and aches to achieve that objective. that's if the older adult is even capable.
