The Paleo Solution: The Original Human Diet

Written in a casual style, the author provides a fairly comprehensive and well documented description of the theory and practice of the Paleo diet and lifestyle. The book is marred by what I suppose were intended to be humorous jabs at vegetarians and vegans. Since they are among his targeted audience, this is counterproductive. And the comments are too mean spirited to be funny. A woeful lapse from an otherwise decently written book, designed to try to get folks without a huge tolerance for detailed scientific information past the technical details of why the food choices are what they are and the expected benefits at a fairly detailed chemical and metabolic level. Recipes and menu plans could be stronger - for someone who claims to be a great cook, a number of them are pedestrian. The Paleo Diet by Loren Cordain is a more serious treatment and just as easy to read, in my opinion. I don't regret having this book but I don't use it as much as others day to day.
