Who gained from the new resources? And that ties back to what I said earlier about personal change. So perhaps to begin we must stop taking so much for granted and ask, who really benefits from our production system? This goal is a lot easier to achieve, of course, for folks who quit shopping in supermarkets and start using cooperative food stores and farmers' markets. Is there another that you prefer. And they must constantly seek new markets to absorb their increasing production. Kress William Lambe W. This was a very interesting book. Our nation's role shouldn't be to go in and "solve" problems there, but—instead—to identify the obstacles that stand in the way of people's struggle for selfdetermination in the Third World.

Americans are eating more fat, more sugar, and more salt than they used to-while taking in too many calories and too little fiber-and each of these changes has been linked to heightened risk of disease.

Nina Augustynowicz University of Silesia The Good, the Healthy, and the Natural: Charlotte Brontë and the 19th-Century Health Reformers The body in Charlotte Brontë’s novels is an arena where ideologies meet and engage in conflict. Various, often contradictory forces operating within the spheres of religion, gender, and class make the body a site of struggle. Thanks to Michel Foucault, the body has been understood as a cultural phenomenon, a corporeality in which the borders between psyche and soma, as well as between the inside and the outside are porous, allowing for these realms to overlap. Consequently, any external disturbances may become internalised, for example as illnesses. In the context of such materializations, the issue of health, both on the personal and national level, must gain primary importance. The moment the physical well- being of individuals is located at the intersection of numerous modes of thinking about the aforementioned matters, it starts to signify outside the strictly physiological domain. In other words, bodily symptoms indicate not only diseases of the flesh, but also ideas about morality, beauty, and the nature-culture opposition.

  • The Sexual Politics of Meat by Carol J. Adams
    THE SEXUAL POLITICS OF MEAT A FEMINISTVEGETARIAN CRITICAL THEORY Praise for The Sexual Politics of Meat and Carol J. Adams “A clearheaded scholar joins the ideas of two movements—vegetari- anism and feminism—and turns them into a single coherent and moral theory. Her argument is rational and persuasive. New ground—whole acres of it—is broken by Adams.” —Colman McCarthy, Washington Post Book World “Th e Sexual Politics of Meat examines the historical, gender, race, and class implications of meat culture, and makes the links between the prac tice of butchering/eating animals and the maintenance of male domi nance. Read this powerful new book and you may well become a vegetarian.” —Ms. “Adams’s work will almost surely become a ‘bible’ for feminist and pro gressive animal rights activists. Depiction of animal exploita- tion as one manifestation of a brutal patriarchal culture has been explored in two [of her] books, Th e Sexual Politics of Meat and Neither Man nor Beast: Feminism and the Defense of Animals. Adams argues that factory farming is part of a whole culture of oppression and insti- tutionalized violence. Th e treatment of animals as objects is parallel to and associated with patriarchal society’s objectifi cation of women, blacks, and other minorities in order to routinely exploit them. Adams excels in constructing unexpected juxtapositions by using the language of one kind of relationship to illuminate another. Employing poetic rather than rhetorical techniques, Adams makes powerful connec- tions that encourage readers to draw their own conclusions.” —Choice “A dynamic contribution toward creating a feminist/animal rights theory.” —Animals’ Agenda “A cohesive, passionate case linking meat-eating to the oppression of animals and women .

  • Diet for a Small Planet Twentieth Anniversary Edition
    Diet for a Small Planet Twentieth Anniversary Edition Frances Moore Lapp6 Illustrations by Marika Hahn BAUANTINE BOOKS NEW YORK Part I11 Diet for a Small Planet Revisited America's Experimental Diet To EAT THE typical American diet is to participate in the biggest experiment in human nutrition ever conducted. And the guinea pigs aren't faring so well! With a higher percent of our GNP spent on medical care than in any other industrial country and after remarkable advances in the understanding and cure of disease, the life expectancy of a forty-year-old American male in 1980 was only about six years longer than that of his counterpart of 1900. Why haven't our wealth and scientific advances done more for our health? Medical authorities now believe that a big part of the answer lies in the new American diet-an untested diet of high fat, high sugar, low fiber, which is now linked to six of the ten leading causes of death. (See Figure 4.) The first two editions of this book are. full of nonmeat recipes, just as this one is. But in my discussion of nutrition I stuck to the protein debate because I wanted to demon- strate that we didn't need a lot of meat (or any, for that matter) to get the protein our bodies need. Now I think I missed the boat, for the Diet for a Small Planet message can't be limited to meat. At root its theme is, how can we choose a diet that the earth's resources can sustain and that 118 / Diet for a Small Planet Revisited America's Experimental Diet / 1 19 can best sustain our bodies? To answer that, I had to inves- tigate more than meat.

  • An Old Family; Or, the Setons of Scotland and America
    [U AN OLD FAMILY OR The Setons of Scotland and America BY MONSIGNOR SETON (MEMBER OF THE NEW YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY) NEW YORK BRENTANOS 1899 Copyright, 1899, by ROBERT SETON, D. D. TO A DEAR AND HONORED KINSMAN Sir BRUCE-MAXWELL SETON of Abercorn, Baronet THIS RECORD OF SCOTTISH ANCESTORS AND AMERICAN COUSINS IS AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR Preface. The glories of our blood and state Are shadows, not substantial things. —Shirley. Gibbon says in his Autobiography: "A lively desire of knowing and recording our ancestors so generally prevails that it must depend on the influence of some common principle in the minds of men"; and I am strongly persuaded that a long line of distinguished and patriotic forefathers usually engenders a poiseful self-respect which is neither pride nor arrogance, nor a bit of medievalism, nor a superstition of dead ages. It is founded on the words of Scripture : Take care of a good name ; for this shall continue with thee more than a thousand treasures precious and great (Ecclesiasticus xli. 15). There is no civilized people, whether living under republi- can or monarchical institutions, but has some kind of aristoc- racy. It may take the form of birth, ot intellect, or of wealth; but it is there. Of these manifestations of inequality among men, the noblest is that of Mind, the most romantic that of Blood, the meanest that of Money. Therefore, while a man may have a decent regard for his lineage, he should avoid what- ever implies a contempt for others not so well born.

  • Vegan History
    Vegan History Veganism has origins that date back to ancient India and Mediterranean societies. Vegetarianism is known to be mentioned by the Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras around 500 BC.(1) Veganism can be traced to the Indus Valley Civilization in 3300-1300, particular to northern and western ancient India. An early known vegan was the Arab poet al-Ma’arri, 973-1057 AD. He based his view on equal justice not only for humans, yet for animals as well. His philosophy was based in health, the transmigration of souls, and animal welfare. (2) In the 19th century vegetarianism became a significant movement in UK and USA, with a minority of vegetarians avoiding all animal foods. In the early 1800’s poet Percy Bysshe published “A Vindication of Natural Diet” and a London doctor, William Lambe said “water and vegetable diet could cure cure anything from tuberculosis to acne.” (3) Around 1830 many vegan communities were established. The Temple School opened in 1834 in Massachusetts in the USA, and Fruitlands in 1844. 1838, in England James Pierrepont Greaves founded the vegan community the Concordium at Alcott House. Then in 1843 members from the Alcott House formed the Vegetarian Society in UK. In this time vegetarians opposed veganism, calling it impractical and thought it may oppose their vegetarian crusade. In 1944 when The Vegetarian Society didn’t support the emerging Vegan movement, Donald Watson started his own publication called The Vegan News, and coined the word vegan. The publication inspired others to give up dairy, such as George Bernard Shaw. November 1st is World Vegan Day, which also marks the founding of The Vegan Society in UK.

  • Vegetarianism and Human Health
    Vegetarianism and Human Health Usha R. Palaniswamy SUMMARY. Vegetarianism dates back to a time before recorded history and, as many anthropolo- gists believe, most early humans ate primarily plant foods, being more gatherers than hunters. Human diets may be adopted for a variety of reasons, including political, esthetic, moral, environmental and economic concerns, religious beliefs, and a desire to consume a more healthy diet. A major factor influencing the vegetarianism movement in the present time is primarily associated with better health. Epidemiologic data support the association between high intake of vegetables and fruit and low risk of chronic diseases and provide evidence to the profound and long-term health benefits of a primarily vegetarian diet. Vegetables and fruit are rich sources of nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber as well as biologically active nonnutrient compounds that have a complementary and often multiple mechanisms of actions, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, hypocholesterolemic, and hypolipidemic properties, and mechanisms that stimulate the human immune system. Because of the critical link established between diet and health, consumers have begun to view food as a means of self-care for health promotion and disease prevention. Functional foods are targeted to address specific health concerns, such as high cholesterol or high blood sugar levels, to obtain a desired health benefit. Functional properties identified in a number of plant species have led to a modern day renaissance for the vegetarian movement. t is often asserted that humans are naturally vegetarian because the human body resembles plant eaters, not carnivores. However, Ihumans are omnivores, capable of eating either meat or plant foods, or general feeders, with more generalized anatomical and physi- ological traits.
