Negotiating Gender and Spirituality in Literary Representations of Rastafari
Negotiating Gender and Spirituality in Literary Representations of Rastafari Annika McPherson Abstract: While the male focus of early literary representations of Rastafari tends to emphasize the movement’s emergence, goals or specific religious practices, more recent depictions of Rasta women in narrative fiction raise important questions not only regarding the discussion of gender relations in Rastafari, but also regarding the functions of literary representations of the movement. This article outlines a dialogical ‘reasoning’ between the different negotiations of gender in novels with Rastafarian protagonists and suggests that the characters’ individual spiritual journeys are key to understanding these negotiations within the gender framework of Rastafarian decolonial practices. Male-centred Literary Representations of Rastafari Since the 1970s, especially, ‘roots’ reggae and ‘dub’ or performance poetry have frequently been discussed as to their relations to the Rastafari movement – not only based on their lyrical content, but often by reference to the artists or poets themselves. Compared to these genres, the representation of Rastafari in narrative fiction has received less attention to date. Furthermore, such references often appear to serve rather descriptive functions, e.g. as to the movement’s philosophy or linguistic practices. The early depiction of Rastafari in Roger Mais’s “morality play” Brother Man (1954), for example, has been noted for its favourable representation of the movement in comparison to the press coverage of -

Nonetheless, they are mainly based on personal impressions and reports published in books and magazines, rather than on scientific evidence. Animal models and human clinical trials have been Keywords: employed to study changes in body composition and metabolic outcomes to determine the most effective Obesity diet. However, the studies present many limitations and should be carefully analyzed. The aim of this review Weight-loss was to discuss the scientific evidence of three categories of diets for weight loss.

In the short term, high-protein, low-carbohydrate diets and intermittent Fasting Macronutrient fasting are suggested to promote greater weight loss and could be adopted as a jumpstart. However, owing to adverse effects, caution is required. In the long term, current evidence indicates that different diets pro- moted similar weight loss and adherence to diets will predict their success.

Design: Cross-sectional study with two diet groups. Setting: Former West Germany. Subjects: Healthy women (n ¼ 243, aged 25 – 65 y) adhering to Wholesome Nutrition for at least 5 y (subdivided into 111 ovo-lacto vegetarians and 132 low-meat eaters) and an according control group of 175 women eating an average German mixed diet. They were all recruited through an advertisement campaign and selected on the basis of their food consumption. Results: Considering potential confounders, the Wholesome Nutrition subgroups had higher HDL-cholesterol levels than the control group. No differences were observed for total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol. For LDL=HDL-ratio and triglycerides the effect of diet was dependent on interaction terms. -

Higher Insulin Sensitivity in Vegans Is Not Associated with Higher Mitochondrial Density
European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2013) 67, 1310–1315 & 2013 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0954-3007/13 www.nature.com/ejcn ORIGINAL ARTICLE Higher insulin sensitivity in vegans is not associated with higher mitochondrial density J Gojda1,2, J Patkova´ 1,3, M Jacˇek1, J Potocˇkova´ 1,2, J Trnka1,3, P Kraml1,2 and M Andeˇl1,2 BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Vegans have a lower incidence of insulin resistance (IR)-associated diseases and a higher insulin sensitivity (IS) compared with omnivores. The aim of this study was to examine whether the higher IS in vegans relates to markers of mitochondrial biogenesis and to intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) content. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Eleven vegans and 10 matched (race, age, sex, body mass index, physical activity and energy intake) omnivorous controls were enrolled in a case–control study. Anthropometry, bioimpedance (BIA), ultrasound measurement of visceral and subcutaneous fat layer, parameters of glucose and lipid homeostasis, hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp and muscle biopsies were performed. Citrate synthase (CS) activity, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and IMCL content were assessed in skeletal muscle samples. RESULTS: Both groups were comparable in anthropometric and BIA parameters, physical activity and protein–energy intake. Vegans had significantly higher glucose disposal (M-value, vegans 8.11±1.51 vs controls 6.31±1.57 mg/kg/min, 95% confidence interval: 0.402 to 3.212, P ¼ 0.014), slightly lower IMCL content (vegans 13.91 (7.8 to 44.0) vs controls 17.36 (12.4 to 78.5) mg/g of muscle, 95% confidence interval: À 7.594 to 24.550, P ¼ 0.193) and slightly higher relative muscle mtDNA amount (vegans 1.36±0.31 vs controls 1.13±0.36, 95% confidence interval: À 0.078 to 0.537, P ¼ 0.135). -

Eugenics and the Survival of the White Race Author: Ben Klassen Format: Paperback Creativity Book Publisher Pub. Date: 1982 Food Chart Copyright © 2003 by World Church of Creativity Salubrious Living - Introduction The term "Salubrious Living" is a nomenclature I have coined as part and parcel of a very important facet of our religious creed and program set forth by the CHURCH OF THE CREATOR. The word "salubrious" comes from the Latin word "salubris" meaning "healthy; wholesome; sound; useful; vigorous". Webster's dictionary defines the English derivative "salubrious" as: 1. favorable to, or promoting health or well being; invigorating; 2. spiritually wholesome; conducive to good results". It is in this context of fully promoting the health and well being of the White Race that we use this term in its true literal meaning. We of the CHURCH OF THE CREATOR want to differentiate this term from "Natural Hygiene popularly used for many decades by health practitioners devoted to this worthy art and science. -

Popular Health Movements and Diet Reform in Nineteenth-Century America
The Japanese Journal of American Studies, No. 21 (2010) Popular Health Movements and Diet Reform in Nineteenth-Century America Nanami SUZUKI* INTRODUCTION Food is deeply related to culture and society.1 While human beings have consumed a variety of things in their daily lives, they have attached a wide range of cultural meanings to what they select to eat, how they prepare their food, with whom they eat, as well as what they consume on special occasions. Several kinds of foods exist simply to be eaten at various ceremonial gatherings held at specific stages in the life cycle. Food is thus an impor- tant measure expressing the way that humans are linked to the environ- ment and to one another. Eating is an expression of one’s way of life, and statements of one’s faith and beliefs are often demonstrated through food-related codes and ceremonies. The United States grew with immigrants from diverse areas whose individual food cultures were an important element in their ethnic iden- tities. A new “creolized” food culture took shape through the fusion of those food cultures and foodstuffs in the new land in a concrete mani- festation of the meeting of cultures. The food culture of the United States experienced great changes from the 1820s to the 1890s. There was a significant expansion of the country physically and at the same time the promotion of internal migration. By Copyright © 2010 Nanami Suzuki. All rights reserved.

Beckwith, Ph.D. Department of Kinesiology and Health Education Supervising Professor _________________________________________ Tolga Ozyurcu Department of Kinesiology and Health Education Second Reader 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank the entire staff of the H.J Lutcher Stark Center at the University of Texas Austin for allowing me the opportunity to preform archival research at such an expansive facility. I would like to thank Cindy Slater, the Associate Director for Library Services at the Stark Center for every pound of box she hauled out of the archives and her extensive knowledge of the collections which made my work so much easier. I would also like to thank Dr. Jan Todd, Co-Director of the Stark Center, for pointing me in the direction of writing a thesis dealing with this subject matter early last semester. A special thanks to my second reader, Dr. Tolga Ozyurtcu, for signing every single paper I gave to him, sometimes on blind faith. You provided some insight from your own personal experience writing these types of things and it helped me stay focused while writing it. A very special thanks to my Thesis Supervisor Dr. Kimberly Beckwith, who took substantial amounts of time out of her own busy schedule to discuss my paper and help me improve it. I’ve never seen someone edit as thoroughly as Kim does.
