As per the writer, these are natural, raw food items identified by the great civilizations in the past. These foods are not only easy to consume but go well with almost every body type and metabolism. The only issue, however, is their availability in your local area.

What we didn’t like much
- David has also been a lawyer as well as a salesman; maybe this affects the fluidity of his writing – but he delivers the information
