However I found an extract available online, for free, today and it's really very good, so I have ordered a copy from eBay. You can find the extract, which is 60 pages long, on Google Books here.

Friday, 25 April 2008. So we rely on bought cereals. And why not? We stick to the healthier end of the spectrum, avoiding the particularly sugary/chocolatey/delicious ones. Many breakfast cereals make health claims, and it's good to know that for at least that one meal a day, we are guaranteed to get good percentages of various GDAs and vitamins, and a decent dose of fibre.
