Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 45
This well-researched, thought-provoking audio guide to traditional foods contains a startling message: Animal fats and cholesterol are not villains but vital factors in the diet, necessary for normal growth, proper function of the brain and nervous system, protection from disease and optimum energy levels. Sally Fallon dispels the myths of the current low-fat fad in this practical, entertaining guide to a can-do diet that is both nutritious and delicious.

A mixture of science and pseudo science.
Revisado: 01-15-24
Like the very foodways they indict as contaminated, the authors have taken any source of information or study that supports their thesis. They include many an unhealthy crackpot unscientific claim mixed in a bulk of healthy peer reviewed research.
examples: author states monosource claims at several points that cancer can be in fact transmissible, and that BSE or mad cow is not caused transmissible prions.
I am not vegan or vegetarian, and support a healthy, scientific omnivorous diet based on our evolved physiology, but this is not the book you should rely on to explore this topic.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 428
A brilliant, authoritative, and fascinating history of America’s most puzzling era, the years 1920 to 1933, when the U.S. Constitution was amended to restrict one of America’s favorite pastimes: drinking alcoholic beverages. Okrent reveals how Prohibition marked a confluence of diverse forces, including the growing political power of the women’s suffrage movement and the fear of small-town, native-stock Protestants that they were losing control of their country to the immigrants of the large cities.

A History of Sociopolitical Elites during Volstead
Revisado: 06-23-20
My suggested new subtitle of this book. Great for political science students, not so great for history, anthropology, gastronomy, and science buffs.
While it does so in an interesting manner, it is written with the priorities of a pre 1800s historian in that it focuses on sociopolitical elites and their maneuvering at the expense of almost every other historical factor or variable. The day to day reality of the common human is merely glanced over. It vastly focuses on the big players and ignores a wealth of probably more interesting characters, ideas, technologies, art, flavors, and textures, that (in my humble opinion) makes history feel relatable, interesting, and human.
To stick with the theme. If history is an ancient complex wine made with a million varietals, this book distills it into strong grappa, and labels it brandy. Gets the job done but kinda one note.
