FOOD MATTERS: A Guide to Conscious Eating
by Mark Bittman
This book confirms what I have already mentioned: the lifestyle choice you make not only makes you healthier by reducing your risk of many long term and chronic diseases, it can also help you to loose weight if you need to, save you REAL money, and help stop global warming!
No change comes without effort, but the changes are not as hard as you think and take less time than your average workout routine. Knowing this can intrigue anyone. Don't take it from me, read this book for yourself and confirm what I am talking about.
The book is divided into two basic sections. The first section will make you rethink about your food consumption. You will learn how we tend to overindulge and how we have come to considering these outrageous portions we eat to be "normal." Bittman does an amazing job with a brief history of our over consumption of food. Think you're doing good following the food pyramid guidelines? Ever think that the government would want to help or hurt when it comes to our food consumption? Think again.
The second section offers tons of recipes that are good for you, the earth, and they're yummy too!
I really enjoyed reading Bittman's book, FOOD MATTERS: A Guide to Conscious Eating, and I think you will too. It really fortifies the old adage, "You are what you eat."

I haven't read the book yet, but what you're saying speaks many truths. Many eat to feel FULL, I too am guily of such a crime! In reality Americans are over eating, food consumption nowadays is twice if not more than the recommended needs. As a nurse, witnessing childhood obesity on the rise is alarming. Along with sedentary lifestyles, over eating can prove to be deadly. Many children are suffering from Type 2 diabetes, once known to man as ADULTHOOD Diabetes! Such a chronic illness in children IS Preventable. Eating and excercising consciously will help put an end to the forementioned. It's for this reason I am intrigued to read the book you recommended.
