Sally Fallon and Mary Enig challenge the low-fat, high-carbohydrate nutritional models common in modern Western diets. The book argues that human health relies on animal fats, fat-soluble vitamins, and traditional cooking methods like fermentation and bone broth simmering. It details the findings of Dr. Weston A. Price regarding the physical health of indigenous populations and advocates for consuming raw dairy, soaked grains, and organ meats. The text provides specific techniques for neutralizing anti-nutrients in seeds and legumes to maximize mineral absorption and improve digestion.
This book is intended for home cooks and parents seeking to improve their family's long-term physical development through diet. Readers use these instructions to move away from processed industrial oils and refined sugars. After reading, a person understands how to prepare lacto-fermented vegetables and sourdough starters from scratch. They walk away with a functional framework for sourcing whole foods and implementing traditional food preparation schedules in a modern kitchen.
Practical, outward-looking, growth-minded and clear-cut; a moderate read.
Best for readers like The Practical Optimizer. Which reader are you?
