Death by Food Pyramid

This is NOT a paleo book. Nowhere does she advocate the paleo diet. There are guidelines for eating meat and animal products, however it is still your choice. This is not a book that actively encourages or promotes any singular style of eating or a “one size fits all” diet solution.
This is a passion project that honestly and truly just wants to help people. It strives to unveil and explain the sources of our so-called “common knowledge” about healthy eating and offer advice on how to think critically of the vast amount of information we are presented with. The only goal here is to provide people with honest and truthful information that can allow us readers to form our own well informed opinions of how to eat. It really doesn't matter how you personally choose to eat as long as you are thinking critically and finding reputable, honest, and truthful sources of information to base your decisions on.

The only concrete diet message is that humans can thrive on a vast variety of diets as long as a few crucial nutrient requirements are met. (What amazing creatures we are!) The only thing she says for absolute certainty is that you probably should pass on all that processed crap. Otherwise, use your brain and find what works for you. There is enough good information in here to give you some great ideas to get started with and a good lesson on how not to be scammed by whatever misinformation, fad, or super-miracle-cure-all comes up.

It is very hard to find a health person of any kind (doctor, guru, diet movement, research paper, and so on) that will actually be honest and straight up with you. This book needs to be the first piece of required reading for anyone wanting to successfully create a truly healthful diet for themselves.
