Mindful Eating for the Beloved Community – Volume II: Bridging Food and Social Impact
Mindful Eating for The Beloved Community is a transformative collection of essays that provides a thoughtful and engaging way to revolutionize how and what we eat. Topics addressed include the positive impact of family meals on physical and emotional health, the negative consequences of not knowing where or how food is produced, and the practical details of mindfulness training. Written by a diverse group of chefs, nutritionists and food activists, Mindful Eating offers pragmatic strategies to rebuild the connections between diet, culture, faith, the environment and community well-being, with a focus on the deep connection between mindful eating, social impact and sustainability. Part philosophy, part activism and part action plan, Mindful Eating is a resource toward making sustainable change in our relationship to food, the individual and society as a whole. With one seed empowered, many trees take root.
