The recipes were decent and a good selection for more veggie and whole food based focus. That being said a lot of claims and false information were made and given in the first part of the book which was just a big rant against established food science and gov't agencies. The irony of trying to warn people away from a nutritional think tank/body run by a group yet belonging to a nutritional think tank group has passed by the author. But like any common sense approach to one's health and diet, don't just go to a book for your nutritional needs. Learn, compare, talk to your doctor and nutritionist, keep learning and be willing to be wrong, adjust as needed.

I simply love to read. Usually several books at a time. Much of it is non-fiction and cooking, history and true crime related. I do enjoy fiction, just have a hard time finding the fiction that capture my attention outside Lovecraft and classics.
