Reviews
editThe originalEat This, Not That! was reviewed byTara Parker-Pope ofThe New York Times. Well Blog writes, "The comparisons are always interesting and often surprising." However, critics did not agree with every comparison. Parker-Pope went on to write, "Chances are you won't agree with every item. For instance, in a comparison of choices for a child's Easter basket, I can't figure out why Jelly Belly Jelly Beans, with 150 calories (630 kJ), are an 'eat this' while Marshmallow Peeps, with 140 calories (590 kJ), are a 'not that.'"[3]
Dawn Jackson Blatner, the spokeswoman for theAmerican Dietetic Association, said inUSA Today, "There are several healthful options for the restaurants. These are real changes people can make to save hundreds of calories."[4]
