I just read "Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats". This was a really interesting book - another one talking about the benefits of a diet of real food - not packaged, processed, sugared, etc. Given all the books I have read over the years on this topic, it was not super insightful to me, although I never knew about preparing food traditionally in order to enhance enzyme production and digestion. I'm excited to try a few recipes. There is one main reason I am blogging about this book - the best sentence I have ever read in an eat-healthy book... "use as much good quality butter as you like, with the happy assurance that it is a wholesome - indeed, an essential - food for you and your family." Yippeeee!!!!!! I love butter. Especially the grass-fed, pasture butter that I am now buying. And it is healthy! For somone whose philosophy with butter is the more the better, this is revolutionary! And, the fact that the book also touts popcorn as being a healthy snack really has made my day. I can eat my favorite snack, with TONS of butter and not feel guilty! Who says real food has to be bad???
