To me, the nutritional info is the most useful part of the book, especially
if the rest is out of date.

typical serving of each food.  The book is old, but I doubt that the
nutritional content of food has changed since then. The recommendations of
what to eat has certainly changed, so I'd take her advice on that subject
with a grain of salt (so to speak).
