Hunting for a way to teach Nutrition that's based on Real Food?Want a curriculum inspired by the same love of wholesome, traditional foods that you find in the cookbook Nourishing Traditions, the work of Weston A. Price, the Slow Food movement, and farmer's markets everywhere? Annoyed with the sub-par Nutrition standards of the USDA and the typical Nutrition textbook?Now you can breathe a sigh of relief. You've finally found what you're looking for.I'm a homeschooling mother who adores the "living books" model of education promoted by Charlotte Mason. And I'm a holistic nutrition coach who "geeks out" when reading science that reinforces what I believe about nourishing, traditional food ways. And I'm a professional writer who not only writes for small business owners and non-profits to help them better represent themselves, their product, and their services to the public, but I also blog endlessly about all things Real Food at www.foodrenegade.com. Over the course of the past year, I've combined these three passions to create the first and only Nutrition textbook of this kind.Introducing Real Food Nutrition & Health!The subtitle almost says it all. This book is a renegade look at nutrition based on a diet of whole, organic, and local foods grown, prepared, and eaten according to traditional food ways. At 203 pages, Real Food Nutrition & Health offers an in-depth introductory look at Nutrition. The book's also written at a highschool (or possibly mature junior high) level, so it's a surprisingly accessible way to teach yourself, your children, and your community the basics of Nutrition. It's All Covered!
Just Look At What You'll Learn!Why call it a "living book"?You might say it's the antithesis of a typical textbook. By definition, "living books" are usually written by a single, educated author who is passionate about their material. The idea is that the best teachers are passionate, and their enthusiam is contagious. Living books can be narratives, diaries, first hand accounts, essay collections, you name it. They meet a high standard in literary excellence, and quality is to be preferred over quantity.My goal in writing Real Food Nutrition & Health was not to provide a classic textbook (which is edited by many authors and full of boring or stagnant facts to memorize), but an honest to goodness Living Book in which my zeal for Real Foods blends with my love of Nutrition & Health to create an intensely readable and enjoyable book. It is written in the style of a journalist, as a collection of informative and mildly entertaining essays or articles on each sub-topic. There's still an obvious structure, so it's easy to follow. And essential facts are still conveyed. Nevertheless this is not a stale read, but hopefully a pleasurable one. Don't Believe Me?Why not download a complimentary review chapter of the book to see what I'm talking about?Or listen to what others are saying! "I've been homeschooling my 5 kids for 18 years, and I've long wished for a way to present Nutrition to them that would support my own Nourishing Traditions inspired beliefs. I'm so excited to see this book! It's EXACTLY what I was hoping for." ~Carla B., Pennsylvania. "I've been helping to organize my local Farmer's Market for about 5 years. Around 3 years ago my youngest daughter needed to be put on formula. I couldn't stand the idea of feeding her with the nasty, chemical-laden, synthetic store bought stuff, so I sought out other options. That's when I discovered the Weston A. Price foundation and their recipe for a homemade formula based on raw goat's milk. It worked wonders! And I was hooked. Now I'm looking for a Nutrition curriculum to help teach my two oldest about exactly why raw milk and dairy can be so healing, why the food we get from our local farmers is more nutrient-dense and worth the premium, why returning to local and organic foods represents better stewardship of the land. Thanks for writing this book!" ~Katherine Z., California. "My husband and I have raised pasture-based chickens and cattle for the last 6 years. We're very excited to see a Nutrition book that actually highlights the nutritional benefits of raising animals according to natural principles rather than industrial ones. Before this book, we had to create our own Nutrition hodge podge from stuff off the internet and Nourishing Traditions. That was okay, but this is far, far better and completely worth the price! Thank you!" ~Emily W., Idaho.
