 I haven't had this much energy since I was a kid because of the food in this cookbook! January 8, 2009
information-aholic (Santa cruz, CA)
I know many who've given this book a negative review have a difficult time with the research.
One only needs to taste this food and experience how it makes you feel to know that
this is incredibly nutritious food.
The way the food is prepared and cooked helps the body assimilate and digest the nutrients.
My body sings afterwards, as does the bodies of my friends and family.
This book has set the bar for how food should be.
My family and friends and I have a difficult time now eating at restaurants because
the difference in the feeling experience is so vast.
This food doesn't just make you feel good though - it also tastes amazing!
It has inspired me to cook a lot - before this I was one of those pick up prepared
foods at the health food store kind of gals.
Now all I want to do is cook food from this book.
The oatmeal and pancakes are worth it alone.
Normally after I eat either one of these they just sit in my stomach for hours and I feel lethargic.
After their oatmeal and pancakes though, I cleaned the house from top to bottom.
I haven't had this much energy since I was a kid!
Highly recommended!

I won't repeat the points of reviewers who showed how skimpy this book is on real science, not just footnotes, to back up its contentions. I give it three stars because there are a lot of recipes and SOME good nutritional information. But Fallon's emphasis on a meat- and fat-centered diet is dangerous. I attended a presentation by her last year, at which she made the statement that "vegetables are basically just vehicles for healthy fats." With all the scientific information we now know about the importance of phytonutrients in a healthy diet and the dangers of excess animal fats, that was a reckless and ridiculous statement. And --sorry folks there's no nice way to say this-- Sally Fallon is FAT. She excused her own unhealthy appearance at this event by saying that it's natural and appropriate to put on weight as you age. Maybe five pounds, but forthy or fifty? Plus I looked around the room at her "true believers". A lot of them were fat, too. I'm sorry to get personal, but when you stake your credibility on owning the perfect diet solution, you're going to be viewed as an example of how it works in practice. Compare Fallon to John Robbins, Joel Fuhrman, John McDougall, or other well-known vegans. They look healthy and fit. And, by the way, they are mostly M.D.'s. What are Fallon's credentials? She's self-taught and doesn't even have a degree in a relevant area.
I'm not a hard-core vegan, but a vegan diet saved my life when I developed Stage II breast cancer years ago. My cancer was found while I was on the Atkins Diet -- also a meat and fat-centered diet. I changed my eating habits dramatically for two years, and I survived without chemo or radiation. Plus eating a mostly plant-based diet has helped me keep my weight at an appropriate level ever since. Fallon's diet won't do that for most people.
Fallon is right to sound the alarm about processed food, homogenization, unsprouted grains, vegetable oils, and other components of the SAD (Standard American Diet). But by giving people permission to eat lots of animal products, she's encouraging obesity and heart disease.
Totally blows everything you thought you knew about food out your butt! December 30, 2008

I bought this book along with eat fat lose fat after and exhaustive examination of the weston price website. It has totally blown my mind and opened my eyes to what real nutritious foof looks and tastes like. My family is usually hesitant when i tell that we're gonna start eating healthier, but with these yummy recipes and fresh idea's, my family craves it! An absolute must have for all families!

The information in this book nearly brought me to tears. It gave me hope that my food allergic son might be able to eat milk and bread again!
It is well organized, and full of information from many sources.
This book will forever change the way you think about food. December 16, 2008

I feel so much more aware of the terrible things that are put in processed foods. It's crazy that some ingredients, or chemicals are legal in the U.S. My husband and I have been trying to eat more whole foods, pasture-fed beef and raw milk, etc. It is more expensive and more difficult to find these things, but so well worth it. We've tried some of the recipes in the book and they are great.
