Healthy, practical, environmentally friendly (the mason jars can be cleaned in the dishwasher) ... what's not to like?I really appreciated the idea of bypassing restaurants, which obviously have to treat their salads somehow to hinder that the salad wilts or goes bad. I also liked the author's layering concept, as well as the photos/graphics how the individual layers are prepared.However, I am having issues with the fact that according to the author meat (e.g. pepperoni, cooked ham, chicken etc should be combined with the salad. What about if people have a one hour commute (which is not extraordinary in certain parts of the country) and may work for 5 hrs before they have the opportunity to eat their lunch? That would mean that the meat and the salad are together in the jar for at least 5 hrs? Is that ok? I don't know but I would liked to hear an answer to that question.That being said, I would be fine with transporting them in two different glass jars.The book could also be a bit longer, but it is a very interesting, healthy, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solution.Gisela Hausmann, author  & blogger
