Ha ha, I agree. It’s great that a hardcore vegan went paleo, but too bad she didn’t challenge her underlying worldview (radical feminist environmentalist). It’s a great book for saving people from vegetarianism because she shows that their own premises lead to paleo, not to grain and agriculture. I don’t think notes are even necessary for this one. Her 3 main arguments (moral, political, nutritional) are pretty straightforward and could be summarized in a few lines. The reviews by paleo bloggers already do a good job.

… except for the knee-jerk every-evil-on-earth-is-caused-by-maleness hokum. The actual vegetarian myth part is very good.

Great work, thanks.

I read the book, and this is a very helpful reminder/review.

Now get to work on “The Vegetarian Myth”

Thanks for a very nice summary! I read the book a while ago, and this will provide a nice review.

I’m curious as to how the publisher could possibly claim that this material violates their copyright. You’re summarizing the book in your own words, not even quoting it. (OK, maybe the image of the cover is copyrighted material, but that’s easy to remove.)

Wondeful Book- read it twice, first time in pieces and the second time complete. Bought several copies as Christmas gifts- it a must read. Let the notes be your first quick read.

outstanding!

I have just ordered a copy on amazon because of that!

I am a ‘primal’ eater eating only real food (low carb high fat). This will be great to deepen my knowledge and hopefully convince my friends and family to stop killing themselves and ridiculing me for telling them.

I have read the book twice, but your notes will still be a valuable resource. Thank you for doing this. It will be a reference for many people.

You are amazing. I read the book and wanted to do the same thing, but you really took the initiative. Thanks so much for sharing! This book should be required reading.

Thank you for making this book accessible. I will go buy a copy so I can read it all.

This information matches my experience (hungrier after oatmeal than eggs) and perhaps offers an explanation of my son’s extraordinarily high uric acid blood levels after he was born – I had gestational diabetes that went undiagnosed. Now, to put the information together and create a food plan to help me release the extra fat I carry!
