Summary: "Nature's First Law..." must be read above all other books!
Comment: Book Review by John Machin "Nature's First Law: The Raw Food Diet" by Stephen Arlin, Fouad Dini, and David Wolfe. 232 pp. Large USA paperback.
Nature's First Law is the noisiest book you'll ever read: it's impossible to turn a page without hearing at least half a dozen gauntlets being thrown down. Nevertheless, the authors' message can be heard loud and clear. Arlin, Dini, and Wolfe are the militant tendency of the raw-food movement, and their uncompromising goal is the conversion of the world to a 100% raw diet - by law, if necessary, with the severest penalties for infringers.
Governments, MDs, food researchers, and manufactureres - each comes in for the special Nature's First Law brand of vituperation, expressed with virtually palable anger at the tragic waste cooked food has brought to a planet and its people.
"Driven by forces seeded in our blood", the authors challenge the establishment to abandon its alchemic experiments and test the efficacy of its medicines, vitamin pills, and putatively nourishing cooked meals against a simple regimen of suncooked plant food. Enlightened raw-foodists are beseeched to propagate news of the miraculous health and spiritual benefits of raw food, with a zeal which surpasses that of the most fervent evangelist: "We are," proclaim the authors, "super-heroes, and our job is to save lives."
Attacking head-on such provocative concepts as HIV, cancer, the "false body," and cooked-food addiction, Arlin, Dini, and Wolfe mince neither their food nor their words, delivering their arguments with metaphoric eloquence bordering on the poetic: "Today's youth has been weaned on the decadent nipple of television." Science, statistics, and history meld with innovative theories and noble philosophy in a coruscating swirl of fearlessly devastating prose.
Although the authors occasionally misstate inference as fact, and offer scant practical help on starting a raw-food diet, their unashamed enthusiasm, their unalloyed plain-speaking, their heady, soaring, glorious confidence make Nature's First Law an inspiring read for anyone with the guts to glimpse behind the veil of hypocrisy suffocating our so-called civilization.
This is, in short, an awesome work: buy it, read it - and thank God the authors are on our side.

Summary: CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
Comment: n.f.l.: the raw food diet is a direct transmission from the Mother funneled through 3 naked guys on the cover of the book. this book will change eveything about your life - if you allow. in the pages of this book the enlightened authors pinpoint the exact cause of all of (wo)mankind's problems(yes, i'm a raw foodist). all ecological, spiritual, personal, health, social, financial, etc. problems all have their root problem in the addictive, mind altering, consciousness blocking stimulation of cooked food. cooked food makes us sick and raw food makes us well. the author's have declared war on the cooked world and they will win. All the dedicated raw-foodists (myself included) know the truth in the words of these authors. try raw foods for 6 months and you will never eat cooked again. RAW IS LAW!

Summary: Good, but dogmatic
Comment: This book takes no prisoners. The message is clear: "Eat raw or die, cooked food is poison". This message is pounded into you with each chapter. I would have like a bit more variety in the topics and considerably more science to back up the claims for raw foodism. I would also like to have some research on raw animal foods, which can certainly supply deficits in the raw vegan diet (i.e. vitamins B12,D). Having adopted a raw diet myself to lose weight, I have to agree with the authors that one can pretty much eat any raw foods as desired and still loose weight. I eat at will including such "forbidden foods" as avocado & coconut oil and still lose weight every week, which is something I need to continue doing until I reach a good weight. I feel better than I ever have. This book may sound awfully dogmatic in places, but it will help you if your quest is to eat raw. Read it.
