Nutrition Books I highly recommend!

I’m all about awareness, education and activism….which is why I’m sooo excited that Sustainable Table, a non profit organization, is kicking off their “EAT WELL GUIDED TOUR AMERICA” tomorrow, August 2nd!

There is a ton of FREE information online and within our communities to access health and fitness information! I checked out their sites and was really impressed with the cartoon displaying what happens in animal factories – check it out: http://www.meatrix.com

I’ve educated myself by reading:

1. The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
2. What Would Jesus Eat? The Ultimate Program for Eating Well, Feeling Great, and Living Longer
3. The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health
4.World Peace Diet: Eating for Spiritual Health and Social Harmony
5. Raw Food Life Force Energy: Enter a Totally New Stratosphere of Weight Loss, Beauty, and Health

All of these books focus on living in harmony with the foods we consume and understanding the energy found inside of each meal. These books influenced me to:

- minimize my animal protein intake

- eat more salads

- have more reverence for the foods I eat

- understand the energy/life force from the meal

I HIGHLY suggest you pick up a book or audio cd to educate yourself further. Since then, I’ve had more energy, I hardly get sick and I have a high reverence for life and the things around me.

Sustainable Table
(http://www.sustainabletable.org), the nonprofit program that produced The
Meatrix (http://www.themeatrix.com) movies and the Eat Well Guide
(http://www.eatwellguide.org), is traveling across the country to celebrate
local, sustainable food and the folks who produce, distribute, promote and
eat it.
Kicking off in Hollywood on Aug. 2, Sustainable Table’s “Eat Well
Guided Tour of America” will travel via bio-fueled bus across the United
States, stopping in more than 25 towns on its way to the Farm Aid concert
in New York City on Sept. 9. The tour will visit restaurants that serve
local, seasonal and sustainably-produced food, family farms and farmers
markets in California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Wyoming, Missouri,
Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania
and New York.
”The Eat Well Guided Tour of America is more than just a road trip,”
said Diane Hatz, founder and director of Sustainable Table. “Given recent
negative news about food, we want to show people the incredible, positive
things happening in the sustainable food movement right now. The more
people support their local farmers and local food systems, the better off
our communities are.”
