review 1: Good information on green smoothies and food combining. Good smoothie recipes.I don't go for Boutenko's style, but I'm sure she's contributing something important for a lot of people.I think the idea that we should base our diet on chimpanzees is pretty silly. However, basing our diet on that of early man, and hunter gatherers, makes a lot more sense--and while it's not a chimpanzee diet, it was probably closer to a chimp diet than a couch potato diet--or even what passes for a -relatively- healthy diet amongst many of us. Blending is a great compromise to make greens more appetizing, whereas our ancestors would probably have just been inclined to eat greens in between infrequent high-calorie scores, since they were more easily and frequently available. But if you're takin... moreg nearly all your meals in blended form, and then you have to start using a jaw exerciser, that's taking it too far. At least, as far as the principle is concerned. I'm sure it's a far healthier 'mistake' than most of us are making in our diets.
review 2: Everyone complains about this book having pseudoscience in it, and that might be true but there are some other really compelling arguments. I have to say her chimpanzee pie chart (I think) was a compelling argument. I did not learn to much from this book that I hadn't already read, just picked up really good recipesI do prefer the Thrive series by Brendan Brazier, those are phenomenal Vegan nutrition guides that offer lots of cited info about Vegan and Raw foods. less
