Good concept, light on details

I love books that challenge conventional wisdom. I'm a wilderness first responder and have worked with Search & Rescue and community response teams. Survival packs almost always contain rations based around carbohydrates.
To suggest that Low-carb is more sustainable in e,regency situations is novel, and well founded in certain aspects of nutritional science.
However, the author fails to fully explore the evidence behind ketogenic diets or the downsides to high fat food storage (its shelf life doesn't come close to that of flour, pasta, or freeze dried fruits and veggies).
Good overview of a compelling idea, written for a lay audience. Needs more substance to be taken seriously by the scientific community.
