The Primal Cheeseburger attempts to delve into the history of basic food groups while utilizing the supposed All American Cheeseburger, Fries, and Coke meal as a guideline. There are certainly some interesting historical notes on how meat became an integral part of certain cultures meals. Some good discussions on the origins of bread, cheese, etc.

However, this book tries to cover way too much ground. Some of the changes in the authors subject matter are introduced a bit too abruptly. Perhaps the author could have organized this book so it flowed better and covered a few things well instead of many things haphazzardly.

Nonetheless, this brief history of food around the world has its moments.
