...this book is persuasive as well as informative Review by Harry Mather, Vegan Views magazine

Review

These days most people think of food as a plastic wrapped object they pick from a supermarket shelf. Pre-cooked meals to be warmed up in a microwave are considered normal, although they are preserved in salt, sugar and several artificial chemicals with artificial flavourings.

So it is refreshing to be reminded that as primates we should be eating the fruit, nuts and herbs that nature provides for us in a natural state and which can mostly be grown effortlessly by permaculture principles, in contrast to the aggressive, laborious methods that are conventional.

The book outlines the practical philosophy for this way of life, what to eat and offers information about forest gardening, inspirational organisations, recipes and contacts. Steve also deals with frequently asked questions and nutritional issues.
In a culture where the campaign to eat five portions of fruit and veg seems a hard task to most people, the idea of eating mostly raw may sound revolutionary, but this book is persuasive as well as informative. Well worth reading.
