NUTRITION, HEALTH PROTEIN I have been asked often how we can have enough protein from vegetables. But many vegetables have lots of protein, as you can see in the following lists. You can purchase concentrated vegetable protein, such as “Bragg Liquid Aminos,” containing 310 mg of soy protein per serving (1/2 teaspoon), but the company does not recommend it as a meat substitute. –Dick 10 High-Protein Vegetables You Should Start Eating Today by Katrina Love Senn October 1, 2014 7:40 AM SAVE SHARE On my weight loss healing journey, my starting place for radically transforming my health was to eat real foods, especially vegetables. Within a few weeks of eating real foods, especially protein-rich vegetables (in combination with other healthy protocols), I began to have more energy and to feel my excess weight release easily and naturally, even after years of trying. Best of all, I began to feel like myself again. Here is a list of 10 high-protein vegetables that you can add into your life for more energy and to help create vibrant health naturally. 1. Peas Not only are peas one of my favorite kitchen additions, but they are an excellent source of protein. Peas can be enjoyed fresh or frozen and have some of the highest protein available of any vegetable. So, next time you are looking for a little protein boost, remember to add in a handful of peas to your meal. 2. Spinach You might already know spinach as a popular "super food", but now you can eat it knowing that it is also a great source of protein, too. This vegetable is loaded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and within that deep dark green color is also plenty of protein. 3. Kale Truly one of the best greens and vegetable choices out there, kale is the definition of a super food. Make it into a salad, add it to soup or casserole, or blend a handful into a green smoothie, knowing that you are getting your protein. 4. Broccoli As well as protein, broccoli is also high in fiber, antioxidants and minerals. With a broad range of vitamins on offer, you can use cooked or raw broccoli as a main menu item. Eat broccoli in salads, soups, or simply steamed by itself with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. 5. Sprouts There are so many different varieties of fresh sprouts available and the thing I love about them is that they are living until you pick them. (You can't get any fresher than that.) Sprouts make a healthy addition to sandwiches, salads and soups. Try mixing the various kinds of sprouts that are available, as the different varieties are all delicious. 6. Mushrooms With a firm texture and immune boosting properties, especially the cordycep, reishi and maitake varieties, mushrooms make a tasty, nutritious and filling main meal. I like to cook them under a hot grill with a drizzle of olive oil. When they are almost done, simply top them with a little freshly chopped garlic and parsley and then bake them a little longer (to cook the garlic). Serve them with freshly scrambled organic eggs for a healthy weekend brunch. 7. Brussel Sprouts This cruciferous vegetable is not only high in protein, but also fiber. I remember as a little girl not being very keen on brussel sprouts. Fortunately, my taste buds have evolved! Try roasting them in a baking tray with a drizzle of oil and a dash of sea salt for a delicious variation. 8. Artichokes You can eat artichokes in many different ways including blended, steamed or roasted. They are so delicious and filling (thanks to the high protein) that you may very well may make them the main part of your meal, as happened in the ancient Jewish Ghettos in Rome many years ago! 9.

    Women's Experimental Autobiography from Counterculture Comics to Transmedia Storytelling: Staging Encounters Across Time, Space, and Medium Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Ohio State University Alexandra Mary Jenkins, M.A. Graduate Program in English The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Jared Gardner, Advisor Sean O’Sullivan Robyn Warhol Copyright by Alexandra Mary Jenkins 2014 Abstract Feminist activism in the United States and Europe during the 1960s and 1970s harnessed radical social thought and used innovative expressive forms in order to disrupt the “grand perspective” espoused by men in every field (Adorno 206). Feminist student activists often put their own female bodies on display to disrupt the disembodied “objective” thinking that still seemed to dominate the academy. The philosopher Theodor Adorno responded to one such action, the “bared breasts incident,” carried out by his radical students in Germany in 1969, in an essay, “Marginalia to Theory and Praxis.” In that essay, he defends himself against the students’ claim that he proved his lack of relevance to contemporary students when he failed to respond to the spectacle of their liberated bodies. He acknowledged that the protest movements seemed to offer thoughtful people a way “out of their self-isolation,” but ultimately, to replace philosophy with bodily spectacle would mean to miss the “infinitely progressive aspect of the separation of theory and praxis” (259, 266). Lisa Yun Lee argues that this separation continues to animate contemporary feminist debates, and that it is worth returning to Adorno’s reasoning, if we wish to understand women’s particular modes of theoretical ii insight in conversation with “grand perspectives” on cultural theory in the twenty-first century.

  • The True Cost of American Food – Conference Proceedings
    i The True Cost of American Food – Conference proceedings Foreword Patrick Holden Founder and Chief Executive of the Sustainable Food Trust I am delighted to be writing this foreword for the proceedings of our conference. I hope it will be a useful resource for everyone with an interest in food systems externalities and True Cost Accounting; and that should include everyone who eats! The True Cost of American Food Conference brought together more than 600 participants to listen to high quality presentations from a wide range of leading experts, representing farming, food businesses, research and academic organizations, policy makers, NGOs, public health institutions, organizations representing civil society and food justice, the investment community, funding foundations and philanthropists. As an organization which has contributed in a significant way to the development of the conceptual framework for True Cost Accounting in food and farming, we were delighted that the conference attracted such an impressive attendance of leaders from a range of sectors, all actively committed to taking this initiative forward. Looking forward, clearly one of the key challenges is how we can best convey an easy-to- grasp understanding of True Cost Accounting to individual citizens, who have reasonably assumed until now that the price tag on individual food products reflects of the true costs involved in its production. As we have now come to realize, this is often far from the case; in fact it would be no exaggeration to state that the current food pricing system is dishonest, in that it fails to include the hidden impacts of the production system, both negative and positive, on the environment and public health.

    ENVIRONMENTALISM ON THE WEB: POLITICAL ACTIVISM IN THE AGE OF NEW MEDIA by DYLAN WOLFE (Under the Direction of Kevin DeLuca) ABSTRACT This dissertation is a study of the rhetoric of environmental activism in the communication context of new media. I specifically focus on how the rhetoric of environmental activism operates on the internet. The group of media technologies known as “new media” are characterized by a high volume of cursory message fragments circulating speedily yet detached from a clear distinction between producers and consumers. I propose that in this communication context, circulation of new media texts is rhizomatic, moving on lines of flight rather than clearly delineated pathways. Determining the force of rhetoric requires engagement of textual elements, a surveying of relationships between textual fragments and technological characteristics in a discursive plateau. In this study I offer resonance as a conceptual basis for considering the rhetoric of advocacy in new media communication. Resonance aligns the rhetoric of a text with potential viewers’ experiences in discourse. Resonant elements of a text challenge dominant meaning, seeking to articulate knowledge more favorably to environmentalists. In order to account for the implications of an image-centered communicative circumstance, I also forward image resonance, a counterpart and compliment to resonance. Image resonance aligns with the rhetorical forces at the surface of images with the communicative conditions of the accelerated and surface-oriented world. INDEX
