Customer Reviews

Bad reviewers are totally off base

This is one of my personal favorite books. It is not designed to be read in one sitting. It's a reference book that you read a chapter a week from. Everything in the book is correct. If you want scientific data rather than a discussion of raw food, you'll need to read The China Study by Colin Campbell. If you're reading these two books at the same time, you'll get it. The scientific data is out there. If you eat a bunch of crappy food, you will get diseases. Do you actually need data to prove 90% of what you buy at the grocery store is bad food? I was actually shocked the ratings were so low on this. If you randomly start reading this book, it might be overwhelming. If you realize you can never eat cooked food or meat again, this book will satiate your appetite. HIGHLY recommended.

In Your Face Raw

This is a very concise in your face addition of a raw food informational book. It strictly tells you many INTERESTING details about the benefits of eating raw for yourself and for the stewardship of Mother Earth. I thoroughly enjoyed it and believe everyone should be aware of its contents. It teaches truths many of us have yet to ponder. You will be happy you learned what you did from this book. I've read it twice, once in the beginning of college and then again four years later; so happy I reread it recently because it opened up my eyes again to truly believing in a clean diet for all. I read some other reviews that this work was plagiarized from a man named Arshavir Ter Hovannessian in Place Sanai, 2 Kamkar Avenue, Tehran, Iran. This is very interesting to me. I don't know whether it's true or not and I'm not sure how they found out, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. David Wolfe hasn't reached spiritual enlightenment by far (I spent a week with him at a retreat in Hawaii) wasn't impressed at all by his womanizing behavior and egocentric attitude. I don't put much stock into his partner Steven Thor Arlin either. Nevertheless the information is good. If the plagiarism is true please thank Arshavir Ter Hovannessian instead and go to his website. I heard he is in prison, if so my prayers are with him.

RAWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book actually deserves a 6th star. Your personal ticket to EXCELLENT health lies within the pages of this book. The authors attempt to wake up a sleepy world with fantastic earth-shattering theories*, so hold on to your hat and enjoy the ride!*Book contains many pregnant adjectives - not intended for the shallow-minded.

Very enthusiastic authors . . .

When I first tried to read this book last year, I was completely turned off by the over enthusiasm and over-the-edge rationale (they tend to use logic and then take the argument one step beyond logic). I have again picked up the book, and this time have thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a great motivator, although I wasn't able to benefit from it until I had already decided that raw food was the way to go.

Best book I've read on the raw-food diet--period.

The authors are young, committed, and right on track. I've read many health books over the past 15 years, and this one outdistanced them all. I couldn't put it down!If you've read the Diamonds, T. C. Fry, etc., then this is the book that will push you over the edge toward a new body. These guys leave no stone unturned, no objection unanswered. If you want to get your heart and mind into a new way of eating and living, this is the book you've been waiting for! You'll be STUNNED with the breadth and depth of information and inspiration.
