I just question the concept that you can learn to eat healthy by looking at what poor people eat. Like I said I was poor as a child and lot of my extended family is still poor and I had to relearn how to eat when I got the 40 and started blowing up like a balloon.
just based on what I know of the book (I haven't read it myself) that the author wasn't talking about the way the poor eat in America or even western nations. Like Brian said, the idea is to focus on (relatively cheap) staple foods producing a low meat, low fat, high protein, high fiber diet.
If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

Yogurt with a spoonful of jam / preserve mixed with nuts is AMAZING. One of my favorites. *NM*
