Sharon, thanks a lot for such an informative post! I've never been to Asia but what I know about their diet sounds very much like what you wrote in your post.
I read a good part of the book today through googlebooks. He really seems to push the idea that humans are really carnivores (given our teeth structure) and that our guts weren't meant to digest all the roughage from fiber. That doesn't make sense though, humans are really omnivores, so although we can't eat grasses, we should be OK with fruits and veggies. I was trying to find any discussion boards where members could discuss the diet, but, just like you, all I found were the Amazon reviews.
Also, he says that we don't need fibrous produce for vitamins and minerals because as animals feed on greens, they absorb all those nutrients, and we get them through their meat. Maybe that used to be the truth but how about now? You can hardly buy regular meat in the store where the animals weren't kept in cages, grain-fed, etc. How exactly are we supposed to get vitamins from that?
I think that the author just really missed quite a few things...
