Critic reviews

“A wonderfully practical tome that explains how folks around the world benefit from the healing power of food.” (Mehmet C. Oz, M.D., co-author of You: The Owner's Manual)
“In this bracingly hopeful and eminently practical book, Daphne Miller shows us how we can bring the wisdom of traditional diets to our own plates, in the interest of both our health and our pleasure. The Jungle Effect is a fascinating, useful and important book.” (Michael Pollan, New York Times best-selling author of The Omnivore's Dilemma and In Defense of Food)

This woman’s message is v good. Nice story but basically a whole book just to illustrate the obvious. Can be said in a paragraph: Whole foods locally produced and organic if possible is the source to preventative medicine. Processed foods, fast foods, eating animals grown industrially is bad. (I had a hard time reading about her eating octopus, and animal smarter, and more sensitive than humans). If would have been nice to mention that we eat way too much meat for our own good and our consumption is not sustainable especially if choosing grass fed free range etc. And CAFO meat is of course out of the question. She’s travelled extensively picking up delicious food tips all along the way, but I couldn’t shake off the sense of a v privileged wealthy healthy and skinny woman jet setting around the globe without a care in the world. I have not seen the recipes yet and trust they are excellent.

Good message
