Format:Paperback
This is a fantastic book describing the elaborate scientific research done by the author into the nature of nutrition and degenerative processes. It was written a long time ago and therefore has some odd ways of viewing society, but the technical and social information is extensive. It makes such common sense that a person can be baffeled at the ignorance about good food so prevalent today. This is really the distillation of the wisdom of our ancestors who lived in tune with nature as our wild animal cousins do. Fab.

Format:Perfect Paperback
This was written in the 1930. But most of it is better than anything written about nutrition today.
Weston Price saw first hand what give us physical degeneration and this is his own words.
Today there would be impossible to write this book, there are to few populations left eating natural foods.

A great buy for anyone wanting detailed nutrition on tribes people pricey in hard back but worth the cost as read other reviews and some found that certain parts of the original book were not included in other copies.
