Despite being coherant english, this writing feels like it was was written by a crazy person. Random one off moral statements, undefined terms like ‘dialpad pattern’, the writer wonders all over the place and is rambling, the fact the bullet points are freakin check marks, etc.
Not all of the advice seems terrible, but it’s methodology seems very regressive. Eat western food generally seen as healthy, don’t overfeed your kids, etc. But then in the same breath where they talk about the recommendations of a woman who was a renowned pediatrician, they follow up by restricting the ideal role of woman to homemaker.
Telephone companies use ten keypads on a telephone to supply billions of telephone numbers. Cooks can produce endless meal combinations using the same technique.

I see you have discovered Starbucks is God’s chosen food.
“America’s oldest paediatrician” = “the one with the least skills because she couldn’t learn from others’ mistakes”. How is that supposed to be a good thing?
She actually seems pretty lit tbh. Helped invent the whooping cough vaccine and lived to be 114.
She was among the first doctors to object to adults smoking cigarettes around children, and to pregnant women using drugs.
What is a “green dough job”? I assume their concept is inane.
I think money. She mentions how wommin being in the kitchen saves money a couple times, and I doubt she was a fan of them being out of the home working. I didn’t pick this one up, although maybe I should have, because there’s nothing about this book online.
Weird little self published books are always fun.
Does she mention ‘gothardism’ or ‘Bill Gothard’? It’s a fundamentalist sect (cult?) in the southern US. For a couple of years as a kid I went to a church full of ‘gothards’ and I would hear about bible inspired diets like this.
I think it just means an occupation ie something you do to earn money – as opposed to the jobs we do around the house in the course of taking care of ourselves. Regardless yes it’s inane. (we should be eating healthy tho, regardless of religious affiliation)
Making money from it.
Don’t leave me hanging, what are the 10 staples?
And how are we supposed to arrange them on the dial?
Is it blasphemous to get food poisoning?
