Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

How dismaying and actually insulting to the reader: the book draws on difficult-to-access rare ingredients but fails to make the effort to include ways of accessing the ingredients. In most "Blue Zones" around the world, people eat locally accessed, fresh, healthy, mostly vegetarian/vegan food (or fish in Japan).. But these "100 recipes to live to 100" include: "Fresh bitter wild greens like garlic mustard" "Beefy. Resilient bush beans""Hawthorn berry powder" "Well fermented napa cabbage kimchi""5 sheets gim," "5 strips yellow pickled radish (use precut danmuji"), "4 Chinese long beans," "2 inches galangal root, "8 ounces cassava," "one green plantain,""4 cups taro leaves," "1 Filipino eggplant." Along with "vegan fish sauce" "one cup Sapelo red peas." This book insults the reader by failing to provide information as to accessibility, of ingredients, much less encouraging readers to seek out -- locally -- key foods that support vitality and longevity and health. . Don't bother to buy it unless you prefer reading to cooking. And by the way, Mr. Buettner, where DO I find a Filipino eggplant and Sapelo red peas? On Amazon? Gimme a break.
