Colin Campbell, Ph.D., the scientist behind the documentary, Forks Over Knives and author of The China Study, also a compelling argument for a plant based diet.

I downloaded this thinking it was a cookbook. There are recipes at the end, but that is not what the book is about. It is about a family's journey to eat a healthier diet and live a healthier life. As I was flipping through to find the recipes, I started reading and couldn't put it down. It was truly interesting to watch her and her husband change their outlook on food and their lifestyle to become healthy. Some of her observations make you stop and think. That is definitely a reason to explore a new book.

She supposedly starts her journal and eating plan after watching Fork Over Knives. But it’s 26 days of journaling excuses for why they cheat. The recipes are mainly corn, potatoes and rice, and one for mushrooms with 1/2 cup of oil. But only 4 lines for a green salad recipe. Glad I got it at the library and didn’t spend money.

Not at all what I expected - expected book about how to go vegan and a lot of guilt. Instead found hilarious take on trying to go plant based and the many fails that can happen.

I would rather from the author to call her book “ My journals through a food experience” or she could’ve write diary instead!
