 Living as long as your grandparents - dream on June 18, 2001
21 out of 28 found this review helpful
If you think you will live as long as your grandparents did based on your present diet, even longer based on recent advances in medical research, think again. Sally Fallon and Dr. Mary Enig (who was first to expose the polyunsaturated oil mafia, talk about the true Guru on Fats and Oils) have compiled monumental facts about "Nourishing Traditions". In many cases these traditions are telling us what our ancestors ate for thousands of years to keep healthy and fit. They could not rely on modern medicine and modern drugs so they had to eat right in order to maintain their health. Eating right meant eating broth; enzyme enhanced lacto-fermenting many foods, and enjoying the natural taste of foods, waking up your taste buds, which hopefully have not yet died. Eating right means to avoid processed foods, either denatured by "refining", hydrogenating, homogenization/ultra pasteurization, bleaching, etc. or have been poisoned with artificial sweeteners and colors, soups loaded with MSG, and most of the usual dozen of food additives, mentioned on the back of any processed food packaging. So, continue to work out in your gym instead of growing food in your garden, eat out in fast food chains and family restaurants and microwave your doggy bags, instead of preparing your own meals with good ingredients, believe the diet Dictrocrats and their cholesterol and low fat lies - and suffer the consequences. As for living as long as your grandparents did - dream on.
This is the One March 27, 2001

The nutrition information in this masterpiece is intellegent, proven, and just plain common sense. With all this information available one wonders how we got to a place where soy , polyunsaturated oils and refined carbohydrates dominate our food supply and dieticians routinely give the thumbs up to sugar and adopt a look of horror at the mention of raw milk. Sally Fallon and Mary Enig are masters of delivering the truth to us in a clear and very readable way. The recipes are wonderful as well. This is the most used (and it shows) cookbook on my shelf. Nourishing Traditions is so complete in nutrition guidelines and recipes that if I were to give up all my cookbooks and diet/health books, and keep only one, this would be the one.
Dietary wisdom; easy and delicious recipes February 16, 2001
29 out of 32 found this review helpful
The nutrition information presented in this book is "radical" and yet timeless--our ancestors knew what they were doing, but we've been blinded by the food industry and have lost our understanding of real food. Sally Fallon shows us that while in the past we relied on instinct, today we must rely on knowledge. She presents real wisdom in a clear, entertaining fashion.I got this cookbook for Christmas and in two months have used more of the recipes in it than in my other cookbooks combined over the past several years. The recipes are EASY and everything tastes great! While it is tough to find some of the ingredients (such as raw milk), one CAN find many of the products (hormone-free meat, organic produce & whole grains, raw cheese) and if you implement as many changes as you can, you're bound to be healthier.
Common sense about diet at last January 15, 2001
23 out of 25 found this review helpful
If you've been confused as I've been with all the conflicting claims about diet, here's the answer you've been looking for. Fallon and Enig summarize the work of Weston Price and Denis Burkitt (among others) who found in their studies in many countries that when people stuck with their traditional diets they remained healthy and when they ate the food we find in our supermarkets, they suffered from all the metabolic ailments that are endemic in the entire Western World. The authors bring the work of these pioneers up to date, and then show in detail exactly how we can avoid all the physical degeneration that our unhealthy way of life brings on us. The book is very clearly written, and I can't recommend it too highly. It will change your life.

This book is a great treasure. Lots of naturally fermented enzyme rich recipes and other menu ideas. Highly recommend to cooks who want a natural, ancestral diet for their families.I have been collecting and inventing recipes for years and was amazed to find all these new recipes to try. I will also swap recipes with anyone interested in this type of cooking, just send me an e-mail. Thanks LynnD@mountain.net
