The Energetics of Food

by Steve Gagné

Its back. bigger and better than ever! The underground classic on food. health and energetic nutrition in a new updated and expanded edition. Energetics of Food is the unique book of lost wisdom that goes beyond the conventional linear approach to nutrition - with its endless mire of calories. isolated nutritional components and politically-correct dietetics - and penetrates to the heart of food. Even though we live in a culture with sophisticated technology with seemingly unlimited resources for learning, we still don't know how to eat or how to manage this most primary relationship. Rooted in the traditions of our ancestors and the commonsense philosophy that founded the natural healing modalities of traditional peoples the world over, Energetics of Food will change the way you perceive food and nutrition. Now you can get to know food on a deeply personal level, beyond weights and measures. Energetics of Food will show you how the foods you eat affect your life at every level. Not only will you learn the true meaning of "You are what you eat" - you'll also learn why and how you are what you eat!

This book gives a fun way to look at food and how it works with your body while triggering curiosity to understand more about your food, how it is grown, shipped and cooked, so that you may make informed choices about what you put into your body and how you choose to do it too.

This book was really fascinating. i've been reading a lot of nutrition books, but this one has unique information. it describes how the energy we get from certain foods effects our personality. for instance foods that grow up and out (like leafy greens) make your mood up and out. so they are great for depression, but eaten in excess can make you spacey. it goes into great detail about the character traits of individual animals and how they effect us, how the way things are cooked effects us, etc. kind of a funny read too. i recommend it!

Interesting book - even more interesting that the title is spelled wrong on Goodreads. Huh.
