Buy Green for Life

Yes, it's super important for us to eat lots of greens, and most people don't understand just how much of it we really need. However, exclusively eating greens, or plant matter of any kind, isn't healthy. Humans are omnivores and our digestive systems and bodies in general were designed to eat meat AND green leafy vegetables. The way we ate long long ago when we were hunter gatherers is the closest thing to comparing our diet to chimpanzees. we knew what our bodies needed then, unlike now. the hunter gatherer diet is basically just meat and veggies (mostly non-carby ones) and a little bit of nuts and fruits. that's it. there is no traditionally vegan society in the world for a reason. all food traditions have some form of meat or dairy in them, even if they don't know it. there was only one traditionally vegan culture they found and it was in india. but the researchers discovered that the reason it worked for them is because, since they lived in a jungle setting, there was larvae growing all over their food that they couldn't see, and they were eating tons of it.

so, i think there is some valuable information in this book, i think it's super important to eat tons of greens, and i think this issue of not enough HCL (hydrochloric acid) is a big one that applies to a large population of people in modern times. but exclusively eating greens, or exclusively eating a raw vegan diet, is just not healthy. there are a host of essential nutrients that you just don't get through that diet, and there's just no way of getting the amount of protein that our bodies need. it messes up your hormones, throws off your metabolism, strains your thyroid, and causes a chain reaction of one problem after another. So, if you're reading this book, use the recipes, but don't see it as your exclusive diet. eat some meat too. if you have an idealogical issue with that, think of it this way: how many bugs died to harvest your bowl of cereal or rice? is the life of an insect less important than the life of an animal? is the life of an animal more precious than the life of a plant? animals eating other animals is just a fact of life, however ugly. so, unless you want to go around telling all the carnivorous animals in the world that they're wrong, i suggest coming to terms with these facts. good luck to everyone in search of the right diet for them :)Get more detail about Green for Life.
