Helpful Score: 5

This was a very questionable book. I liked some of the ideas - thinking more about what you put in your body, getting real about that kind of stuff. But, some of the information is blatantly, and possibly dangerously, incorrect. And the hammering of the USDA, meat industry, etc., and references to 'rotting meat', are tiresome and disgusting. I know they're trying to get their points across, but some of their advice and suggestions are potentially very dangerous in this society. I found some of their advice to be bordering on encouraging eating disorders (fast for up to 7 days, get used to and enjoy the feeling of being empty, eat only fruit for breakfast, if possible). The menus at the end are actually pretty good - if they could have presented their approach to veganism without the whole chapter on how animals are tortured and the government is just in it for $, I could have been more positive about the book.
