Mixed feelings

Considering that this book is part of series of 'ecobooks' I was surprised at how much 'me-first-nutritionism' there was to be found between its covers especially in realtion to organics and supermarkets. Surely the central benefit of organics is ecological (preservation of biodiversity etc.)and not just the fact that one isn't consuming poison with every mouthful. Same on supermarkets: barely a whisper about their role in wrecking sustainable systems of food production and distribution. Ho hum.... but then this is written by Craig Sams who has created organic brands in the past and then sold them to the corporate giants.

Life changing book
|
An absolute classic, this book revolutionised the way my family and I regarded food. This book is a small and easy to read, explaining each topic clearly and concisely. It's also very easy to just dip into as you feel like and pick a chapter at random.
Previously, we were naive to many of the dangerous items hidden within our food, actually often believing that we were eating healthily when in fact we were polluting our bodies and it soon became a hobby to read the food labels when shopping to discover if something you once regarded as a healthy staple really is or not.
Worth noting that we also lost a lot of weight by adjusting our eating habits after reading this book.

A Little Earth Book just for food
|
|
As a nutrition and weight management advice specialist i found this book packed with independent articles on the scams in agrigulture and the food industry, advertising, and excellent studies into poor health caused by our attitudes towards food. There were insightful articles on the dangers of food additives, processing, and certain preperation methods, which were very useful for my clients as well. Everything is written clearly, concisely, but to the point, very much as in the Little Earth Book.
