The New York Times bestseller by the co-creator of the WHOLE30 'If you want to stop turning to food to make you feel better, this is the book for you' Sun 'Food Freedom Forever gives you everything you need for achieving dietary success, for today and for the rest of your healthy life' David Perlmutter, MD, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of Grain Brain What does 'food freedom' mean to you? Maybe it's eating whatever you want without negative consequences to your health or waistline. (Good luck with that.) Maybe it's giving up your obsession with calorie counting, food restriction, and the scales. (Now we're getting somewhere.) Bestselling author and nutritionist Melissa Hartwig defines true food freedom as being in control of the food you eat, instead of food controlling you. It means indulging when you decide it's worth it, savouring the experience without guilt or shame, and the returning to your healthy habits. In Food Freedom Forever Melissa outlines a simple three-part plan that will help you to discover food freedom for yourself, no matter how out of control you feel. It will point you down a self-directed path that keeps you balanced, satisfied and healthy, without requiring that you obsess about food, count calories or starve yourself. By the last page, you'll have a detailed plan for creating the perfect diet for you, finding your own healthy balance, and maintaining the kind of control that brings you real food freedom every day. Welcome to food freedom.

A renowned anthropologist explores the history and meaning of eating in America. Addressing issues ranging from the global phenomenon of Coca-Cola to the diets of American slaves, Sidney Mintz shows how our choices about food are shaped by a vast and increasingly complex global economy. He demonstrates that our food choices have enormous and often surprising significance.

Eat what you want. Crave what you need. Sound too good to be true? Yes, I know. About 20 years ago, I thought the same thing. My name is Jennifer Kelly, and as a Board Certified health coach, I have spent over a decade supporting clients in applying that exact same strategy to their lives. Having experienced first-hand the power of food to heal, inspire, and renew, I offer my clients an educated source of reliable information on what to eat and why. It's about simplifying WHAT to do and HOW to do it. The good news is, anyone can do it, no matter how far from healthy you think you are. My strategy is simple, yet radically different than any other health plan I know of - and far more effective. Before you know it, your dinner plate, shopping cart, pantry, entire kitchen, and your body will be different, reflecting the new and positive choices YOU are making, simply because they make you feel good. Freedom Eating: A Revolutionary Plan to Live Life and Quit Dieting Forever is like having your own personal health coach walking you through the steps toward a diet-free life of enjoying food and a healthy body. My goal is to inspire you to make the simple but significant changes that will ultimately transform your health, your energy, your life. The truth is, diets don't work forever because they cause us to feel deprived, lesser-than, undeserving and unworthy. The message is that you can't have what you want because there is something inherently wrong with you, and that never feels good. We even say things like, "I was bad," if we eat a so-called "forbidden" food. Diets are psychologically damaging because they do not allow us to separate our will power around food from our worth as a person. How long can we keep making positive choices from a place of not feeling good about ourselves on a deeper level? As anyone who has ever dieted before knows, the answer is: not very long. Freedom Eating is different because the focus is on living. Diets focus on the death of all of the fun that is associated with food, while here we persist at what can make you feel more alive.

Two revolutions roiled the rural South after the mid-1960s: the political revolution wrought by the passage of civil rights legislation, and the ongoing economic revolution brought about by increasing agricultural mechanization. Political empowerment for black southerners coincided with the transformation of southern agriculture and the displacement of thousands of former sharecroppers from the land. Focusing on the plantation regions of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, Greta de Jong analyzes how social justice activists responded to mass unemployment by lobbying political leaders, initiating antipoverty projects, and forming cooperative enterprises that fostered economic and political autonomy, efforts that encountered strong opposition from free market proponents who opposed government action to solve the crisis. Making clear the relationship between the civil rights movement and the War on Poverty, this history of rural organizing shows how responses to labor displacement in the South shaped the experiences of other Americans who were affected by mass layoffs in the late twentieth century, shedding light on a debate that continues to reverberate today.
