Sally Fallon has created a a fascinating presentation of the research of Dr. Weston A. Price and combined it with a diverse selection of recipes to help those eat a healthier diet with a twist. Dr. Price spent years travelling the globe
studying indigenous people and their health and eating habits. Dr. Price found that groups who ate a primarily whole food diet high in organic saturated fats, fermented grains, fruits and vegetables, had the healthiest teeth and bones structures. These groups also lived long productive lives, with significantly lower statistics in chronic diseases, than those who ate a more modern refined diet. Sally has research the types of foods these groups ate and created a delicious assortment of recipes to help us all recover some of this lost, healthier type of eating. She has included an important section on fats, written by microbiologist Mary Enig, PhD, to refute the conventional  thinking on the subject. The only caveat to this book is this: Our ancestors lead far more physcial lives than we do now and could burn fat better. We are too stressed and burn more sugar than fat so take this into consideration when learning about the amounts they ate.  This book is a must read for anyone wanting to truly understand healthy food.
