Positive Reader Comments

Although it’s true that testimonials from big-name industry gurus are often used as an overblown marketing tactic, and authors who independently publish usually get them from ordinary citizens and common community leaders first, positive comments from people can nevertheless be helpful for others to know about—some would say even more than professional book reviewers. So I include a few of them here to show that to the extent possible before publication, the book has enjoyed and well received.

"It's a brilliant, humorous and empowering book. It focuses uncommon intelligence on common-sense solutions to the nagging problems and hang-ups we all experience every day. It's a magnificent gift to Peter's fellow humans."  --William D. Adamson, Associate Professor, University of Minnesota

“I really loved the practicality of the suggestions, and how easy they were to implement. But even more than that, I liked how they were given so artfully, and with a language that was easy to understand. It’s the first book on food and health that I’ve ever wanted to go back and read again.”  --Daniel Slater, St Paul, MN

“Funnybone kitchen is so different from other books I’ve read on this subject. It weaves a story between interlocking topics that others have missed, and it’s the first one that made me want to get up out of my chair when I was done reading it, and do something. It’s a great resource book too, naming lots of good people and organizations that will also help my family to become much more involved in food education in the future.”  --Eric Oveson, Centerville, PA

Other people who have informally supported the book include the esteemed educator and 1991 New York Teacher of the Year John Taylor Gatto, and Dr. Joseph Sweere from Northwestern Health Sciences University.
