I really liked the written text; that is, the first 8 chapters (98 pages). Chapter 9 was 134 pages of recipes, most of which seemed odd, unappetizing, or disproportionate as far as ingredients went.

But I understand that these were intended with the maximum health benefits in mind, so maybe in about 10 years I will appreciate them more.

This book was a pretty scary account of the American food safety system. It inspired me to significantly cut back on my meat eating and experiment with a more vegetarian lifestyle.

This book is mostly recipes instead of his insights into the beef industry. His first book was better.
