September Book Club- Food for Freedom-Part One

Food For Freedom: Reclaiming Our Health and Rescuing Our World by Will Tuttle is the book for September. This book is divided into two sections and we'll discuss Part One. Part Two will be discussed at the next meeting.

Food For Freedom is an exploration into the underlying cultural food narratives in our society, and how they have eroded our freedom, health, spirituality, and awareness. Dr. Tuttle provides alternatives that promote these qualities and offers a wide range of practical steps we can take to re-invigorate our lives and our cultural. The basic idea is that we have been wounded from infancy on, compelled to participate in our culture's defining social rituals- our meals.
Most people understand that we are being increasingly confronted by weaponized medical, media, monetary, and government policies that attack our health and freedom. What is often not understood is the connection between our society's treatment of animals and the problems we face. By making connections we have been taught not to make, we can rescue ourselves, animals, and our world from the harmful repercussions of our food system on our physical, mental, environmental, cultural, and spiritual health.
