Okay, I know this blog is for sharing recipes, but would it be okay to post a few good reads on the vegan subject? Kerri, feel free to take down my post if you think its not right.
Here are some sources about healthy living that may raise your awareness about how our food choices affect our lives, the planet, and the farmers who grow what we eat.
I have read them all and find them interesting on many levels.
The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer from the People who have Lived the Longest, Dan Buettner, National Geographic (Reprint 2010)
Food, Inc (DVD - Magnolia home entertainment) PG, 2008 (find it at Oconee Public Library - not sure if Picken's has it)
The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals, Michael Pollan, Penguin, 2007
In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto, Michael Pollan, Penguin, 2009
The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study on Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss, and Long-Term Health, T. Colin Campbell and Thomas M. Campbell II, PanBella Books, 2006
www.localharvest.org
A good online resource where you can find local sources for farms, CSA's, farmer's markets . . . .
And for those of us who occassionally indulge in meat products: www.eatwild.com

ReplyDeleteI did read In Defense of Food and watched Food Inc. I am about 1/3 of the way through The Omnivore's Dilemma. Also recommend Eating Animals. The end is a little preachy, but the beginning is very affective. Another good one (no really) is The Kind Diet by Alicia Silverson. It is hard taking the scientific stuff seriously from her, but she does make some good points.
On my list for the next is Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable Miracle: A Year of Food Life.
