Book Reviews of NeanderThin: Eat Like a Caveman to Achieve a Lean, Strong, Healthy Body

Book Review: A few reservations
Summary: 4 Stars

Figuring out most of the forbidden foods is easy like grains (not around until agriculture), beans and soy (can't be eaten raw), sugar (unknown to prehistoric people), tubers (molds), and others. However, I do wish there was a section in the book listing all of the non-edible foods along with a brief explanation. For example, he mentions to not eat peas or green beans, but then never explains why. And what about things like sunflower seeds - are they a grain or a seed?

Also, he talks about all the fat we should be eating, but then mentions that we need to trim the fat off of our meat - I find this confusion, which is right? For now, I trim.

Lastly, all of his arguments are based on evolution and as a creationist these do not wash with me. However we are in agreement that humans have not changed (evolved) in the past 15,000 years (or so) but our diets have changed drastically. So it is easy for me to see a lot of common ground from our differing perspectives.

These are all very minor criticisms. In general, I found the book well written, entertaining, and mentally stimulating.
