Food Fix: How to Save Our Health, Our Economy, Our Communities and Our Planet – One Bite at a Time

Product Information

When the oil and garlic are warm and have been gently cooked, add the halved cherry tomatoes, parsley, oregano, green olives, black olives, and rinsed capers to the pan. He gives us an example of a 66 year-old obese woman, Janice, who changed her diet and normalized her blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol, reversed congestive heart failure, healed her fatty liver and kidneys and in a year lost 116 pounds. If you’d like to learn more about “How to Save Our Health, Our Economy, Our Communities, and Our Planet—One Bite at a Time,” I think you’ll appreciate this book as much as I did. Soda lobbyists have fought and lobbied against these measures, and often won because of their deep pockets and support in all sorts of areas. For example, I wasn't aware that the number one driver of climate change is due to our food system, not the energy sector (and is totally reversible if we fixed our food system).

He gets the other one deducted for mentioning that regenerative agriculture is the ultimate food fix several times a chapter and doesn't really define WHAT it even is until page 290 or so. He gets one star deducted because he makes a bunch of his own unsupported (at least in this book) health claims, even if I fully believe him and he is corroborated by much else I have read.

At least that’s what it feels like when a small group of women gathers with me in Italy with little cell phone use, zero TV and dozens of opportunities to engage with each other, and the gorgeous Tuscan countryside, food, wine, and culture. Listen for all the details on how to make it along with a bit of potato-y knowledge about which potato to pick (give the kipflers a swerve here and keep your cash in your wallet). Suddenly your mutual enthrallment with the royal doings of The Crown or the chaotic madness of Westworld unites you and whomever you are to talking with. He grew up speaking French, Arabic and some Hebrew and later mastered six other languages traveling the Mediterranean Sea as a merchant marine in his 20s and early 30s. His voice is at once fresh, powerful, informed, passionate, and encouraging, and his book a must read for us all.

He preaches reform (in government, farming, and personal choices) and education when it comes to food. I was already familiar with the fact that our agriculture strategies were not ideal and that they were a large contributor to the emissions, but at the same time I'm aware that globally people are looking for innovations to improve that, so I didn't perceive it in such a dramatic way. From farm to table, the people who make our food possible mostly work in hazardous and low-paid jobs with no safety net. The book wraps up these problems by providing a holistic solution, involving easy changes to one's own lifestyle and a good plan for collective action at the political level.

What might be less obvious is that the food system we have in place—ranging from the subsidies and other public policies—affect EVERYTHING from our physical health to our psychological health to our cultural well-being to the health of our economies and our environment. Maybe he was trying to hold the punch line until the end and be positive, but I found it annoying to read it this way. Bake 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (mine was done baking at 30 minutes).

Finally, add 200g roughly chopped milk chocolate (reserving a small handful to press into the top of the cookies) and give the mixer another few turns on low speed to combine.His hunger, for love, sex, food, control, respect, and complete dominance gobbled up my childhood innocence and spit out my often-tortured adult psyche. Nothing wrong with that, except that it is making me yearn for something a little more personal; riskier. Nobody does it better and it’s a great gift to those of us who try to keep up with food policy but live outside the Beltway.
