The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats
The premise of this book is that modern food choices and preparation techniques represent a fad that not only has severely compromised our health and vitality but may well destroy us. The culinary traditions of our ancestors and the food choices and preparation techniques of healthy, non-industrialized peoples should serve as the model for our contemporary eating habits—even and especially during this modern technological age.
This well-researched, thought-provoking guide to traditional foods contains a startling message: Animal fats and cholesterol are not villains but vital factors in the diet, necessary for normal growth, proper function of the brain and nervous system, protection from disease and optimum energy levels. Sally Fallon dispels the myths of the current low-fat fad in this practical, entertaining guide to a can-do diet that is both nutritious and delicious.
Topics include the health benefits of traditional fats and oils (including butter and coconut oil); dangers of vegetarianism; problems with modern soy foods; health benefits of sauces and gravies; proper preparation of whole grain products; pros and cons of milk consumption; easy-to-prepare enzyme enriched condiments and beverages; and appropriate diets for babies and children.
