You're encouraged to make fat your friend: butter (in moderation) is OK, so long as you can take dairy, as is red meat, but there's a preference for organic (in all things) as well as buying top quality foodstuff and avoiding cans and plastic bottles if at all possible. I'm aware as I'm writing this that it's all sounding rather faddy, but that wasn't my impression as I was reading the book, perhaps because I made up my mind that I would take away the knowledge and make changes which I thought were justified: after all, we should be eating to live rather than worrying about what we are eating all the time.
I found the book interesting, but also annoying. There are the pictures - and there are a lot of them - and sometimes the same picture is repeated within a few pages. This happens several times and I had the feeling that the text had been 'bulked out' to make it seem like a bigger book. It was also disgruntling to find grammatical and spelling errors and for there to be notes in the text which obviously shouldn't have been published. (There's a recipe for an anti-inflammatory dressing on page 76 which says ''A slug of olive oil - need to measure specific quantity!'' and ''Filtered water to correct consistency - need to check''.)
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
