The Heart and Soul of Food: A Philosophical and Practical Feast for Expanding Your Culinary Horizons and Consciousness

This book explores everything that has gone wrong with our modern food production and consumption approach. We examine the problems of modern industrialized agriculture, processed food, and food advertising; the ongoing lobbying wars controlling the information about the food provided to the public; and the relationship between diet and disease.

You might be shocked to learn about some of these problems while expanding your understanding of the scientific discoveries underpinning these concerns. We provide much-needed hope and practical advice to enhance our connection to food. We explore the incredible potential of food to heal both the body and mind. We examine micronutrients and phytochemicals, the medicinal properties of food, the role of nutrition in epigenetics and gene expression, and how to prevent, and even reverse, the symptoms of the world’s most pressing health conditions using food.

This book offers entertainment, fun, and intrigue, as we take a not-too-serious glimpse at the world’s strangest foods, the role of food in cultural rituals, as well as the history of the world’s most popular dishes and even some predictions for what the future of food may hold for us.
