John Robbins says about this book "it wouldn't surprise me if this book becomes the definitive guide to optimum health and wellness, it's that clear."

I have posted a few blogs with the title "Tipping Point", as I've sensed a ground swell of changing attitudes about nutrition, the foods we eat, and the immediate and very real impact of foods on our health. If john Robbins thinks this book will play a significant role in that tipping point it's good enough for me.

We boomers grew up in a time where medical doctors would say "eat what you want, it doesn't make any difference". That was 50 years ago, but many of them are still saying it!

What's the deal with that? They're not completely fu**ing stupid are they? Well, no, they are thoroughly educated (and highly magnified, tip of the hat to H.M. Wogglebug, T.E.). They know what they've been taught, and what they've been taught is yet another example of the part myth, part reality meme "better living through science" that has informed our epoch thoroughly.

We wanted to believe we could go into space, squirt goo from a plastic tube as food, take a multi vitamin, live and work in an environment we are not evolutionarily adapted to, and all would be fine.

And back on earth we could watch TV for hours a day while eating depleted (but fortified!) food-like substances from boxes and bags.

As we see all around us, it's not working out so well.

This book may be the best summation to date of the actual facts about the creation of health. Read it and prosper.
