If you're looking to fix your diet and fill it with healthy foods this is an interesting list of those things you should consider and why. The benefits and some cautions included which is rare for a food book! He also recommends using this book in conjunction with medicine instead of instead of, again a rarity.
Interesting stuff but you need to add your own salt and as he recommends himself, check and double-check the information.
This book was recommended to me by my Naturopathy doctor and is one I'd love to own. Gives some great information on how to get the most out of your food (I have been overcooking vegetables my entire life and I had no idea.. lol). Focuses mainly on eating raw vegetables and fruits but offers recipes on almost every type of food (vegetable, fruit, meat) that you can think of.
It took me a long time to come back to this book after the tragic abuse of English in the forward ("this problem in languaging") but I sucked it up and carried on. The information is interesting, fun and probably pretty good nutritional advice. It somehow felt too 'rah-rah' to me, though. Too USA Today. Too sound-bitey. I'm a cranky devotee of Michael Pollan, and I like my food information geeky and cloaked in dense layers of information. But this was okay. It would be good for someone just starting to discover real food after a lifetime of McDonald's and Dairy Queen meals.
