Rating: Summary: DEFINITELY FOOD FOR THOUGHT Review: To the author's credit, she has given us many points to ponder when considering what foods to eat and which ones to avoid. As a counsellor and watching the changes in individuals over the years, one thought that continually flows through my mind is the fact we appear to becoming an ever-increasing violent society. People seem less happy, less satisfied and more agressive, more short-tempered. One cannot help but wonder if changes in attitude and agressive behaviour have anything to do with the food we and our predecesors ate. All one needs to do is read a label on a can or package of processed food and the number of additives, preservatives, etc, jumps out like a bolt of lightening. Do you really know what you are eating? How can the additives not affect us over a period of continued long-term use?While the author may be a good writer and an excellent clinical nutritionist, she should stick with what she knows and stay out of the kitchen. To the book's discredit, where the recipes! Hats off to the author if she is pursuing a doctorate in brain nutrition, but a Cordon Bleu chef she is not! These recipes were not just bland, they were desperate, arousing my taste buds to the same level as wallpaper paste! If I fed them to my family, even my dog would pack his food dish and leave home! Read the book for the valuable information it contains on food and nutrition; it is excellent on both counts. As for the recipes, they will probably speed up your divorce immensely.
