I read this stat in your book: according to the World Obesity Federation, 51% of the world, or more than 4 billion people, will be obese or overweight within the next 12 years. I like to say they will live with obesity, rather than use 'obese' as an adjective, because I think the biggest problem for people who live with obesity is stigma.

But this is why I argue, if an individual wants to read my book, I think they will come away with technical knowledge that they will be able to use, and I wish them well with that.

I just got to be blunt here: there’s an anxiety I had writing this book for the core audience of readers who can afford books, most of whom will be able to buy sourdough from a fancy bakery rather than, you know, the loaf of bread we just looked at.
