Get it, Gina, you won't be disappointed.
It's well worth every penny I paid for it nearly two years ago now and I rarely buy a book brand new at full price! One of the things that it opened up for us in particular is the yummy world of raw dairy. Before then, we were 100% dairy free. I learned that lactose is converted to beta-lactose during pasteurization (among all the other things that happen during pasteurization) and that we weren't actually lactose intolerant. Before my friend bought a cow, I was driving 100 miles round trip to get wonderful raw milk from 100% grass fed cows and other raw dairy. Since then it's been a continuum where I found a cheaper source for cheese and butter and started mail ordering those. Then I met my friend whose farm isn't too far away and started learning how to make cheese and butter and getting goat's milk from her. Then she bought a cow to add to her farm. Now we're planning to take the plunge and move to a farm ourselves next year. It's been a real journey and the book has been a big part in helping to educate me along this path. I had read and researched a lot before, but this really helped to make things more coherent and provided more of a direction to branch out and get more information. It's very inspiring!

The first chapter "Politically Correct Nutrition" alone is worth the price of the book!

Ok I just read this entire thread and I am convinced that I have to read this book. From what I have read so far, it sounds sensible - no eliminating whole food groups or anything like that.
At least. that is what I got from reading this thread.

Or....you will FINALLY eat normally! And your body will thank you.inchworm said:Or maybe I'll never eat "normally" again after I read it
Did you read how BBH's daughter's grades went from D's and an F to A's and a C after just a few months of incorporating the principles, and not even 100%??? Usually two meals a day. Not an isolated case, either. With Alzheimer's on both sides of my family, well, that pushes me to "be good!"
But fortunately, "being good" is also delicious and satisfying!
