Title: Nothing New
Review: Nothing new here. The book was disappointingly heavier on menus, recipes and citations than on substance. I did not find this book particularly informative, interesting or compelling. There was about 25 pages of genuine information and explanation. I have found much more compelling explanations about the impact of dietary changes on human health from books on the Paleo Diet. What Galland wrote made sense and he makes a good case for his contentions, but it struck me as largely rehashed and repackaged with nothing terribly novel. I don't believe for a minute that more than a very few people could maintain this diet for more than a few months, let alone a lifetime. If I'd been looking for a cookbook, I might have appreciated it more.
Is the review positive or negative?
