My Take on the Book
This book is a treasure trove of nutritional information for any family. The authors break down the myths as well as are coloring outside the lines to be able to get you (the reader) to see the light about fat and how it is effecting you and the people around you. The book has many great recipes, but actually there is more great nutritional information that many families are lacking in their homes and in their diets. In this book the authors focus on whole foods, quality protein, good fat and fiber, which we all know are good for us.
This book guides families into learning more about what they are eating and working to transform a larger societal culture to deal with. So, in this book you will be able to find some great, simple recipes. At the same time though, there are many other great resources are these people try to share with us. One of my favorite sections looks at healthy foods and what they are known for, how to prepare, cut and when to eat it. Also, in looking at the sections again, I noticed that after general information there is a that provides a recipe for that element.
As a member of a busy family, this book is definitely one that will make my life easier as I try and make better choices for healthier meals for my family!
The book was a great one and one that I would highly recommend!
If this book sounds like on that you would like for your own family you can find it on Amazon!
