📘 100 million years of food by Stephen Le

In *100 Million Years of Food*, Stephen Le journeys across continents, from Vietnam to Kenya, India to the United States, discovering how people grow, cook, and eat using both time-honored traditions and contemporary techniques. He argues that ancestral eating patterns offer a robust foundation for balanced nutrition. By examining the impacts of fast‑food diets, as well as strict regimens such as paleo or vegan, Le highlights how modern eating choices can override the body’s complex biological needs. The book weaves together history, food science, nutrition, and cross‑cultural studies to present a compelling case for embracing natural, historically rooted foods in pursuit of sustainable health.
