what i'm asking is if these books are getting to the
people who don't know what real food is, or if it's only
people who already reject the plastic food that read them.

The people who are eating faux food are either too
ignorant to even know
there's a problem or just too stupid to care. These books
are pretty much read by those who want to confirm ("I knew
that and he agrees with me!") what they already know and
perhaps add some smidgeon of information or just leave it
on the coffee table for visitors to see while they hide the
Cheetos in the back closet. The people who would actually
glean any new life changing knowledge from this book are a
nano percent of those who buy the book. JMO


so, as i suspect, he's just preaching to the choir.
