Publisher's Summary
Sally Fallon Morell, best-selling author of Nourishing Traditions, debunks diet myths to explore what our ancestors from around the globe really ate - and what we can learn from them to be healthy, fit, and better nourished, today.
The Paleo craze has taken over the world. It asks curious dieters to look back to their ancestors' eating habits to discover a "new" way to eat that shuns grains, most dairy, and processed foods. But, while diet books with Paleo in the title sell well - are they correct? Were paleolithic and ancestral diets really grain-free, low-carb, and based on all lean meat?
In Nourishing Diets best-selling author Sally Fallon Morell explores the diets of our primitive ancestors from around the world - from Australian Aborigines and pre-industrialized Europeans to the inhabitants of "Blue Zones" where a high percentage of the populations live to 100 years or more. In looking to the recipes and foods of the past, Fallon Morell points listeners to what they should actually be eating - the key principles of traditional diets from across cultures - and offers recipes to help translate these ideas to the modern home cook.

Thorough and informative
As an Australian I have never heard the agricultural/aquacultural practices and diet of the Aboriginal population pre European settlement presented in such informative detail. Such as shame we have to go to a nutrition book to learn such an important aspect of the history of our First Nations people. Also enjoyed learning about cultures from all around the world. One thing missing was the voice of Sally. Now that we live in the world of podcasts, we are intimately familiar with the voices and idiosyncrasies of our admired authors and experts. The enthusiasm of presentation just isn’t there with a professional voice artist. Please, Sally consider voicing your own books in future.

Nothing PALEO in this book, very disappointed.
As the title states, this book is about how Paleo, Traditional and Ancestral people ate.
There are 2 reference to grind stone marks around 16,000 BC and 30,000 BC. These are the only reference to anything prior the the commencement of humans farming, approximately 10,000 years ago.
How does that make this book paleo.
Fallon misrepresents the Paleo diet with notable occasions in the book where she attacks Loren Cordain and Robb Wolf and her tone is clearly anti Paleo. Whilst Cordain did get a few things wrong, which he has since remedied, Robb Wolf was much more accurate in his dietary recommendations.
Half of the book is about historic records of Australian Aboriginals, Inuits and other traditional hunter gatherer lifestyles.
Information is from written records around 150 to 200 years ago.
Whilst this is quite fascinating, is really has nothing to do with how we would have eaten over the last 100,000 to 2,000,000 years during our formative time as a species.
The other half of the book, which I found quite tedious, was about traditional food preparation in modern populations.
Totally irrelevant to our Palaeolithic ancestors.
A major fault with the book...
The elephant in the room that no one sees...
The human species developed during glacial periods (ice ages).
With peaks of warmer weather and troughs of very cold temperatures.
We are currently in a peak at the end of a 105,000 year cycle. Interglacial, meaning between glacial periods.
Which is undoubtedly why farming practices have become so common since the last ice age retreated 15,000 years ago.
Sally states that she thinks the Australian Aborigines are probably the closest to Paleo that she can think of.
I disagree, I think the Inuit diet with it’s high percentage of meat and healthy saturated fats, almost no carbohydrates, is most likely the closest to Paleo in this book.
Remember, carbs are very difficult to find when you are living in an ice age with a world that would be very different from what most of us are living in today.
Think Northern Canada, Northern Russia, Sweden, Norway and Finland.
With NO international trucking or shipping to bring vegetables and fruits from balmy France.
Paleo whale steaks anyone ???
