I read this along side his new book and parts of it reminded me of a really dry Super Size Me or The Evolution Diet, but there's a good moral here: Don't let some stupid government program based on
the war machine dictate what you should eat. Instead, eat natural foods if you can afford and/or procure them. I was a big fan of the Saltins when reading the book- funny characters!
