Food Yoga: Nutrire Corpo, Mente e Anima
by Paul Rodney TurnerProprio come gli esseri umani, anche gli animali provano dolore. Certo, non avranno il tipo di intelligenza necessario per costruire un grattacielo, ma sono dotati di intelligenza e provano emozioni, sono vivi, respirano e sono esseri senzienti proprio come lo siamo noi. Infatti, tutte le creature, dagli insetti alle piante, ai microorganismi marini, agli innumerevoli organismi unicellulari che esistono in ogni dove, hanno uno scopo ben preciso. Il collegamento è il motore della vita. Tutto è interconnesso. Niente è veramente autosufficiente. Così come acqua ed aria sono inseparabili, così lo è l’interdipendenza di tutti gli esseri venti. Siamo tutti uniti nella vita per la nostra sopravvivenza sulla Terra. La condivisione è tutto. La consapevolezza dell’unità che incorpora tutte le forme di vita è il fondamento di una società veramente umana. Il documentario HOME[1] lo riassume in questo modo: “La Terra si basa su un equilibrio in cui ogni essere vivente ha un ruolo da svolgere, ed esiste solo grazie all’esistenza di un altro essere vivente – un’impercettibile e fragile armonia che è facilmente compromessa.” L’accettazione di questa interdipendenza e il bisogno di equilibrio e gratitudine costituiscono l’essenza stessa del FOOD YOGA. Il nostro viaggio comincia nell’ambito della scienza molecolare e della fisica quantistica e stabilisce il fatto che il cibo, come tutto in questo mondo, sia essenzialmente solo un’altra forma di energia. Ciononostante, questa consapevolezza spesso sfugge a noi esseri umani o perché siamo troppo occupati a consumare cibo per preoccuparcene; o perché siamo privi dell’acuta percezione sensoriale necessaria per accorgercene; il che si traduce in una quasi inesistente percezione dello spettro elettromagnetico. Così come il cibo, anche i nostri pensieri sono una forma di energia, e possono quindi influenzare il cibo che consumiamo, nello

Food and Cooking Skills Education: Why teach people how to cook? (Routledge Studies in Food, Society and the Environment)
by Anita TullFood and Cooking Skills Education (FCSE) is a complex mix of policy and practicality, educational theory and pedagogy, classroom and government policy. This book shows how FCSE has been at the centre of a tussle between education and policy for decades. It reviews how FCSE has grappled with various significant issues of concern that threaten to marginalise it and pose problems for educational practicalities, as expectations are increased, but resources are squeezed. It assesses the debate about the significance and importance of acquiring practical food and cooking skills in a society where the purchase of ready-made food has become commonplace, and public knowledge of where our food comes from is noticeably lacking. This has contributed to the escalating incidence of diet-related diseases and the attendant cost to society, and threatened environmental sustainability. In turn, governments have reacted by proposals to make practical cooking skills a statutory National Curriculum subject as part of the armoury for tackling such costs. Based on detailed research conducted across England and Wales, as well as comparisons with thirty-five other countries or states, the author makes recommendations for policy to manage this challenge facing contemporary society.

Food and Experiential Marketing: Pleasure, Wellbeing and Consumption (Routledge Interpretive Marketing Research)
by Wided BatatPleasure plays a significant but often neglected role in the creation of consumer wellbeing and the relationship between the food consumption experience and healthy eating. This innovative collection focusses on the experiential and hedonic aspects of food and the sociocultural, economic, ideological, and symbolic factors that influence how pleasure can contribute to consumer health, food education, and individual and societal wellbeing. Food and Experiential Marketing uses a holistic perspective to explore how the experiential side of food pleasure may drive healthy eating behaviors in varied food cultures. It questions: Is food pleasure an ally or an enemy of developing and adopting healthy eating habits? Can we design healthy offline and online food experiences that are pleasurable? What are the features of food consumption experiences, and how do they contribute to consumer wellbeing? Providing an overview of experiential and cultural issues in food marketing, this book will be invaluable for consumer behavior and food marketing scholars, public policy professionals, and the food industry in understanding the importance of pleasure in promoting healthy eating behaviors.

Food and Loathing: A Lament
by Betsy LernerNever before Food and Loathing has the intimate relationship between mood swings and food swings been so honestly chronicled. As a bright but chubby girl, Betsy Lerner believed that thinness was the key to success with friends and boys. By junior high, she had precisely divided the world of food into two camps: the dietetic and the forbidden. Becoming a member of the then-fledgling Overeaters Anonymous, she formed a cult-like devotion to the program and lost fifty pounds in a matter of months, only to gain it all back and more. "I am powerless over Hostess cakes," she writes, "and my life has become unmanageable. "Her twenties are marked by yo-yo dieting, depressive episodes, and a sadistic shrink who dubs her "the boy who cried wolf. " Then, just as Lerner begins to realize her dream of becoming a writer, entering Columbia's prestigious MFA program, she spirals into a suicidal depression and lands at New York State Psychiatric Institute. There, a young doctor helps her take her first steps toward selfhood and unraveling the dual legacy of compulsion and depression. A powerfully rendered story for anyone who has every wielded a fork in despair or calculated her worth on the morning scale.
Food and Nutrition: Sustainable food and health systems
