Award-winning chef, healthy eating expert and Food Network's "Kitchen Inferno" judge Daniel Green takes us back to a time where our hunter-gatherer ancestors lived without the hypersensitivities to gluten, lactose and chronic symptoms of joint swelling, acid reflux and acne. Our modern times has brought us a different quality of food: devoid of nutrients and overloaded with bad fats, hidden salt, an abundance of chemicals and new food groups like grains, dairy and legumes. Experts claim that today's sustenance for survival is incompatible with the modern man's genetic make-up, which is not much different from our Paleolithic ancestors who thrived on fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seafood and meat. In this beautifully photographed international bestseller, Daniel guides us back to the old food ways of our hunter-gatherer ancestors, to the eating habits and lifestyle of what would be beneficial to live up to today.
