I absoulutely love this book. I am an eater. I love to eat, and love to cook; I am also very concerned about what I put into my body, and worry a lot about my diet. This book allows you to make it okay to eat real food. She encourages us to eat food the way people ate decades ago. She encourages the whole egg, not just the egg white. She suggests whike milk over skim. Fresh, instead of pasteurized or homogenized. Farmer's markets are a heaven on earth. Butter is better than margarine. I devoured this book, and you know what? I agree completely. Not only do REAL foods taste better, their health benefits outweigh the risks if eaten properly and moderately, with regular exercise. There is no reason to deprive yourself of real food. I applaud this book whole-heartedly.
