"Archaeology too often fails to explore what our ancestors ate,
overlooking the most fundamental part of the story of human
evolution. This adventure-rich masterpiece explores living
guardians of ancient culinary wisdom, filling a long-ignored void
and prodding at the status quo of nutrition in a quietly powerful
way."--Cate Shanahan, MD, author of Deep Nutrition
"I've been in the food industry for more than forty years and owned
a culinary school for twenty-five, and few people have impacted my
philosophy of eating as much as Dr. Bill Schindler. With his vast
knowledge, he describes our nutritive past as humans. Through his
huge charisma, he tells us what paths we can follow for the future,
leaving the choice to us."--John Nocita, president, Italian
Culinary Institute
"Eat Like a Human had me on the edge of my seat from the first
paragraph till the very end. In a world of processed food,
deceptive marketing, and fad diets, this book is a true guide for
living and eating! A powerful read and a wealth of invaluable
knowledge from Dr. Bill Schindler."--Michael Hunter, author of The
Hunter Chef
"Anthropologist Dr. Bill Schindler offers sage eating advice and
recipes from our ancestors. He encourages us to consider the
cultural context of our consumption from surprising perspectives,
with stories from his extensive travels to learn from indigenous
peoples and their traditional diets. Bill invites us to eat dirt,
not our greens; to reconsider nutrient-dense offal; and not to
drink the USDA-recommended three glasses of milk a day, but to turn
them into cheese instead!"--David Asher, author of The Art of
Natural Cheesemaking
"Eat Like a Human will awake your latent hunter-gatherer. Dr.
Schindler shares his intriguing journey from 'hard core obsessive'
to the realization that food is more than nutrition -- it's also a
cultural experience that is invaluable to our health and happiness.
A lifetime of discovery and invaluable forgotten skills between two
covers."--Darina Allen, founder of Ballymaloe Cookery School, and
author of Grow Cook Nourish
"Dr. Bill Schindler dives into ancestral foodways, into the
archeology of food, in order to draw a better future for our health
as well as the health of our planet. He doesn't just preach the
change in our eating behavior, he uses the world's simplest
argument--eat like a human--to understand our DNA, our metabolic
functions, and the evolution of our species in order to design a
better, tastier, healthier, and more egalitarian future."--Alex
Atala, chef and author of D.O.M
"Dr. Bill Schindler is at the forefront of a small handful of
intrepid researchers who have taken the deep insights of
evolutionary science and wedded them to the practical (and
critical) process of feeding ourselves, our families, and
communities. Eat Like a Human is not 'cave man reenactment' -- it
is a science-based approach to truly nourishing the human body,
mind, and spirit."--Robb Wolf, New York Times-bestselling author of
The Paleo Solution and Wired to Eat
"From Samburu warriors in Africa drinking blood milkshakes, to
highlanders in Peru dipping potatoes in a sauce made of clay, Eat
Like a Human takes you on a fascinating journey of culinary
traditions around the world. Dr. Schindler explains why food
preparation techniques are critical for obtaining the best possible
nourishment for our food while providing delicious recipes
acceptable to western palates. Eat Like a Human is a delightful
read that serves as a practical road map to healthy eating."--Sally
Fallon Morell, President of the Weston A. Price Foundation
"If you are confused about what to eat, tossed about in the storm
of conflicting dietary advice, Eat Like a Human provides a
refreshing, unique perspective on the origins of the human diet,
and how to design and prepare a varied inclusive diet of nutrient
dense foods, often wild and weird, that extracts the most
nutritional benefit through ancient cooking methods (and often
ancient foods ignored today - insects anyone?). If you want to
learn to be in right relationship to your body, nature and food,
read this book!"--Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times-bestselling author
of The Pegan Diet
