Oh my, yes!! Emphatically. Absolutely. It is *way* more than a cookbook, 
and will (I predict) revolutionize your thinking between nutrition and 
health, and what constitutes "best eating" in an age of what Michael 
Pollan terms "nutritionism" in which we have lost our focus on 
traditional *foods* and chase will 'o the wisps we call "nutrients."

BTW, thanks for the statistic: I had no idea that Sally's book would be 
that high in Amazon's sales. That's encouraging--as is the fact Pollan's 
OMNIVORE'S DILEMMA has been/was on the NYT bestseller list so long.

Procure and read, Mitch--you won't regret it. A treasure trove of good 
info, an eye-opener, an inducement to critical thought.
