(2004, 174 pages, softcover) - There is a lot more to food than meets the eye. Our food can be a vehicle for positive personal and planetary change. Alternatively, it can sustain ill health, economic exploitation and ecological damage. Food and the way we obtain it is connected to a whole network of different effects in our lives and in the world we are a part of. Food affects and is affected by activities in the economy, society and the web of life - the outside world. Food is also affected by and affects our internal world - our mind, our body, spirit and emotions.
This book explores and offers guidance on what happens when we eat more raw foods - specifically fresh and organic fruits, vegetables, salads, nuts and seeds, sprouted grains, cold-pressed oils, seaweeds, herbs and so on. It is a book about eating more raw food, whilst also looking at the possibilities of eating only or mainly raw foods. It is about what happens to the chain of events in your life when you eat more raw foods, and what happens when you grow more of the food you eat. So it is a book that is relevant to you if you eat no raw food at all; it is also relevant if you eat 100% raw...or anywhere in between. In particular, this book is relevant for people interested in more ethical and ecologically sustainable ways of living, food issues and the relationship between health and nutrition.
