I would've washed just fine with an abridged version. Information technology would have saved me some other 45 minutes. Monotonous. Repetitive. Anything past chapter 5 was superfluous. He had some practiced points, though. Overall with this book, I could take it or exit it. More then, leave it and find an infographic online that gives me the same info in less than 5 minutes.

Don't miss the signal

Not a great read due to back-up and dogmatic drilling in of points with little explanation. Still, for a book written in the sixty'due south that alludes to a plant based diet, intermittent fasting, lack of pure, "whole foods" and digestive health, this book seems nigh prophetic in 2017. My favorite line, "Don't consume kale!". Enough said.

One size doesn't fit all

While I practise agree with a lot of the book, based on my ain healthy eating habits, there were a few things I didn't agree with, at least as it relates to me. For instance, eating once a day ( which I accept tried on numerous occasions) doesn't work for me. The thing that doesn't sit well with me is that Mr. Muhammad seems to think that because eating once a day worked for him that it should work for anybody. With all due respect, he was a small,delicate man. I, on the other hand

One size doesn't fit all

My bigger point is everyone has different torso types and I know exactly what works for me and what doesn't. Another annoyance was Mr Muhammad's trend to echo him constantly. Delight don't go me wrong I institute this volume to exist very useful and informative but I don't concord with every single word...

Eat Right, Eat Less, Live Longer

This volume lists all the foods that people should eat and the ones they should non eat. It likewise tells us how often people should swallow. Sadly, all of the foods nosotros should non eat are a big part of the earth's diet today & out eating schedule is sure death. That's the reason the pharmaceutical companies and doctors are and so rich! The book is besides very repetitive throughout, but that seem intentional... Repetition could help the reader internalize the message more than and likely have action or it can plow people off from reading the book direct through. There was besides a lot of judgement and condemnation of white people in the volume... Again, I think that too is intentional but despite that, once a reader can become pass these, the volume has some very useful pearls and gems that a reader tin can use & alive past. These certainly would non be useful to swines (no pun intended :) )

Interesting bits about bread and potatoes, but repetitive and like whatsoever other faith says its enemies worship money.

This was an okay read. Very repetitive. I don't know if that was done purposely to brand certain points stick to the reader or non. I felt like I was reading the same chapter over and again.

Prophetic. To be written in 1967 the Messenger does an eloquent job of informing the follower of Allah how to swallow to live.

It is difficult to review a book that has as much historical significance as "How To Eat To Live" does. Written by Elijah Muhammad this book is a foundational text of the Nation Islam.

In fact, a nifty deal of Elijah Muhammad'south basic philosophy and religious doctrine can exist establish here. It is somewhat repetitive with the basic themes beingness recycled throughout, this repetition seems to be a result of each chapter apparently beingness taken directly from the spoken sermons of Elijah Muhammad. It is interesting to notation that Mr.Muhammad repeatedly commends the eating habits of Orthodox Judaism, despite the sort of anti-Antisemitism that would eventually be heard from his disciples such as Louis Farrakhan. Anyone interested in American religions in general, or in the Nation of Islam in particular would exist well served by giving this book a await. It's a genuine piece of American history.
