30-Second Book Review:
The China Study, by Dr. T. Colin Campbell
That part was interesting. The most interesting part, though, was the end. Dr. Campbell writes about why, if there's all this research about the benefits of a plant-based diet, the public doesn't hear more about it. It has to do with money vs. real science, and how Americans just don't want to give up their burgers. Hmm...anyway, it's worth a read.

Your Welcome!
ReplyDeleteGreat book! I haven't read it but I have read a lot of nutritional books that cite the China Study research and many others that have convinced me of the value of a plant-based diet. I tend to think that American's chose to eat large amounts of meat and dairy products because the FDA (who has a vested interest in the financial well-being of the meat and dairy industry) continues to feed American's misleading information regarding a healthy diet...but, that's my opinion.
ReplyDeleteLove the quotes, thanks Kaylyn for keeping them for you. I am interested in learning more about the China Study. Although I'm one for doing things in moderation...I definitely would like to incorporate more of that way of thinking into our families diet, totally makes sense. I'm afraid what Zak and Allysia commented is right on the money.
