Free again Kindle and B&N (careful which edition you grab)

D'oh missed it again!!

I want to read it just to see the premise. In our house it's a matter of course that you research things you're passionate or curious about, and that tv ads often lie to you, etc.

So I have some critical thinkers in my house and would love to discuss this kwim?

I wonder if my "ask the librarian" button will help me in the butter vs margerine debacle? <wanders off looking for the button>

BUTTER ALL THE WAY. Actually I make my own "margarine" by mixing a stick of butter, 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 Tablespoons coconut oil in the food processor. You can keep it in the fridge and it's spreadable like margarine.

Repeat K & N, once again.

Boy, having read some the amazon reviews, decided to give this one a pass. The example of the author using "telephone" presidential polls at a time when there were no telephone presidentials polls -- a rather simple historical fact -- makes me wonder what other assertions are fictional in the book.

Perhaps that is part of the "lies" section?
