Fascinating. Reading a book advocating skeptical, rational analysis demands I apply the same to the book itself, so I'm trying hard to keep my skeptic hat on and will need to read critical analysis/counter points as well. Definitely thought provoking sand productively challenging.

I wasn't really getting into this until the second half or so. Now that I am enjoying it, I'm completely drawn in. Feeling disoriented and a tad lost to reality in a way I remember from, appropriately, childhood readings of Narnia and similar fantasy.

I'm finding this rather frustrating. The author provides pie charts apparently illustrating the macronutrient distribution in a modern vs. "ancestral" diet, but does not give attribution for that ancestral diet (when? where? does he think human ancestors had identical fat/carb/protein intake regardless of their location on the globe?). Also, the book is filled with anecdotes rather than studies.

The grandiosity of the first few pages already has me very wary. :/
