Grass-Free
Grass-Free by David Oxley. Thompson, published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform in November 2015, explores the historical relationship between human diets and health. This 108-page book examines how the shift from a hunter-gatherer lifestyle to agriculture introduced carbohydrates, particularly from grasses, leading to modern health issues. The author argues that this dietary change has contributed to widespread obesity and other health problems, suggesting a return to a more natural way of eating.
In this edition, readers will find a critical analysis of contemporary diets and their impact on well-being. The book discusses the concept of “frankengrains” and refined foods, emphasizing the need to eliminate these from our diets to regain a healthier weight. Grass-Free presents insights into how our bodies react to various food sources and advocates for a return to the nutritional practices of our ancestors. Through its exploration of health, fitness, and diet, this work aims to provide guidance on achieving a healthier lifestyle.
Official synopsis Publisher
We are naturally thin. For 1.8 million years prehistoric man hunted and gathered proteins and fats, and no one was overweight. Then, 10,000 years ago, with the agricultural revolution, historic man discovered that he could grow grasses, carbohydrates, mainly wheat, sugar cane, and corn, ushering in the “diseases of civilization.” Men and woman of leisure became obese. The end of the Second World War allowed us to turn our attention to feeding the world, with “frankengrains” and refined foods. Suddenly, we found that we all were overweight, poisoning ourselves with grasses, cereal grains that we were never meant to eat, that our body just cannot properly digest. Grass-Free is a review of how to stop poisoning ourselves, of how to get back to our natural weight, and of how to stop a dangerous, toxic environment from killing us.
