While I found some of the information not palatable, the recipes at the end and the basic idea seems legitimate. I'll start with what I found to be good information. Our ancestors did eat mostly meats because they were in need of high energy food. While most people anymore hate their vegetables (I don't really understand why), they are an essential part of a human's diet. However, humans are not rabbits and they don't need to gnaw on a carrot stick twenty four seven. I can also agree that actual animal fat is not bad for human consumption; it's the carbohydrates from grains that make people gain weight.What I could have done without in this book: the bashing of organic foods. I understand that some people are not able to afford organic foods; however, that is a personal choice that should not be mentioned in this book because it is a matter of opinion and not fact. I also don't like the chapter on fasting. If a person is going to purchase this book and follow the guidelines in here, they really need to see a doctor first.Like I said, the basic idea is legitimate and the recipes sound amazing, but the way the author conveyed some of the opinions was a little unconventional and could potentially insult a wide range of audience.
