I have been researching the science behind what we eat for a while now and the concepts in this book are just terrible! To say that meat is nothing but rotting flesh is ridiculous and to say that vegetables are 'alive' when you eat them is hypocritical! Do yourself a favor - if you want to feel great, stave off cancer and diabetes (along with a myriad of other illnesses) skip this book and order either "Good Calories, Bad Calories" by an actual SCIENTIST or "The Paleo Solution" - both are rooted in reality and help the body work/feel like it was designed to!
