Little work quite fine with a 77-page layout completely in black and white dotted with drawings a bit rudimentary and yet, I took pleasure in discovering it to discover it, to read it and reread it. I enjoy coming back regularly to reread it, review some passages etc.
Despite the somewhat "simplistic" drawings, I find it more enjoyable than just text book and the layout is quite friendly, not "too serious" and frozen. The whole is more playful and "alive", we take more pleasure to read that a "pad" text only which can seem insurmountable. Of course, this is only my opinion ;-).
I may be appreciated a little color for the price (price at which it was a novel handheld 400-600 pages ...).
For the negative, I find some passages read "too much" and useless like: "... the act of crushing the banana and cut fruit can eliminate calories and muscle up!". If it were that simple, we would know I think :-)
Or "delicate" explanation (and I quote) of the banana shelling explained on a page and a half, explaining that the standing position is best for his well pounded banana, that we should not turn but firmly crush and that most beginners and non-beginners do not do it correctly. Frankly, I think a 5 year old would be able to crush a banana without the need for a page and a half details.
Also, many stars with a return to his other books include "The method Guillain France" and that the weight baths indicated in a footnote, I do not find it normal that one is (deliberately?) Not full on some points for us to buy the other books. I thought it was too blatant and too much. I think that by buying a book on the "Yum-O-fruits", we have the right to have all the answers to questions about without feeling obliged to buy another more expensive book.
For example: p.19 -> "... These are generally very good, but not in this preparation Read why.?" France Guillain Method "Texting ....
The somewhat authoritarian 'side or' military 'book was a bit embarrassed at times. There is no real freedom in the execution of "Yum-O-fruits', for proportions etc ...
A whole list of "we do not put" with fresh, dry fruits, berries, sprouts, fruits frozen "forbidden" in the preparation or the insistence of the average banana HALF not have that whole critical , half a banana qu'exepte the only dried apricots may agree to base and NOTHING else, I find it too "strict".
France Guillain says "we buy blind by looking only at the price," of course reverions us all to eat all organic and straight out from her garden, gold, we must not close our eyes: eat all organic (at least fruit and vegetables) is very expensive in France and is by far, by far not accessible to all. Eating organic is often two to three times more expensive and this, with moderate or no income (unemployment, RSA ...) is clearly inconceivable. Often we do not eat from the "big consumer" for pleasure but because we have no choice and that is what the authors of this type of work should include. I'm a bit tired of hearing that "eating organic is cheap" (see cheaper than the "conventional"), we pheasants almost guilty for not being able to offer organic everyday.
So, yes, perhaps that according to F. Guillain we look at "the price" but that is because we have often NOT the choice between eating organic and have more money to finish the months -according its revenus- and buy my fruits and vegetables at the market, local (not "certified" organic but not industrial) being able to preserve my budget until the end of the month, without the need of anxious to find out how finish the month, the choice is quickly made.
Other issues seem weird ... for example: "a mango can do at least 8 yum-O-fruit and a nice papaya can be used 15 days for a couple". It seems to me almost impossible ... 1 papaya, 15 days for two people! 1 papaya could be 30-yum-O fruit? (Ie 1 papaya enough for 1 full month at a rate of 1 daily yum-O-fruits for 1 person). It seems unreal to me ... really.
For cons, I enjoyed this meal is simply prepared with only quality products but also fresh without cooking (so few dishes and fast, without 'tete-making').
Moreover, it's a meal that suits the "carnivores", vegetarians, vegans, but also raw food and fruit eater. All the food groups will be concerned with the "yum-O-fruit" I thought it was amazing and very enjoyable, accessible no matter his "diet" food.
This meal is a real encouragement to eat, enjoy or re-enjoy the fruits, seeds, healthy oils and through this, to (re) take care of itself, his health and his body.
As said above, this book is a very good complement to the "France Guillain Method" which complements very well and answers questions that are not covered in depth in the book on the "Yum-O-fruit".
