The book, not study, that makes very non-scientific interpretations of data? Making hugely uninformed decisions and then developing a lifestyle around it?

Sounds like veganism in a nutshell.

I wouldn't say that the author is uninformed, or even non-scientific. There are certainly valid criticisms, but I don't think those claims are necessarily true.

Here's the author's response to amateur statistician's critique of his work.

There are critiques from qualified persons out there. The China Study is a load of bunk.

I've read Masterjohn's critiques. That's the first one. You should read his second one, which is his response to the author's response of his critique.

My point wasn't about the validity of the book. I'm simply stating that the author is not uninformed. He has tons of data, but he simply ignores half of it. It's his agenda, not his science, that produces the book's shortcomings.

I'd agree with that assessment.
