Dr. Ramsey’s book is a must-read and will shift your relationship with food to be more mindful with a perspective on culinary medicine." — Marjorie Morrison, LMFT, LPC, CEO and Co-founder, Psych Hub “In a world where depression and anxiety are increasingly common and painfully corrosive to our lives, Dr. Ramsey provides a beautiful and clear road map to help us move from lonely suffering to rich, meaningful living through simple dietary shifts.

Recommended.”--Choice"Du Bois, Tan, and Mintz have done an excellent job combining a series of chapters from diverse authors into a seamless read. The World of Soy provides an informative account of a legume equally ancient and modern."--Science“Measured in cash terms, soy (Glycine max) is in some ways the most important crop, and in terms of imports and exports, second only to wheat. The fact that this important book has contributions by seventeen authors reflects more than the circumstances of its origins in a couple of academic conferences; it also shows the vastness of the topic and the large number of disciplines required to make sense of it. . . . [This] exemplary, comprehensive volume shows the way to frame the crucial questions of food studies. “--Times Literary Supplement“The chapters in The World of Soy are remarkably informative and contribute greatly to our understanding of this food that maintains multiple identities and meanings across the world.”--Society for the Anthropology of Food and Nutrition“Knowledge provided in the chapters and the large and fantastic reference set are gems shining for us all.”--Flavor and Fortune“All food-studies theorists and practitioners will find plenty to entice them in the historical and ethnographic chapters, which offer sweeping but detailed evidence-based culinary histories and geographies, plus step-by-step recipes for the transformation of soy into so many cultural products.”--Gastronomica"An important book, with implications for food policy, everyday food choices, and the comparative understanding of dietary change. It is a major contribution to food studies and to the anthropology of food."--Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute"A rich introduction to the varied uses--past, present, and future--of this underappreciated yet ubiquitous foodstuff. Drawing on an astounding variety of backgrounds and disciplines, this volume amply shows why the soybean is the staple ingredient in both traditional and modern cuisines, as well as the most important agricultural commodity in the global food system."--Warren Belasco, author of Meals to Come: A History of the Future of Food "This enjoyable work provides readers with an overview of the history of modern as well as traditional soy food products. It also points out roadblocks to improving nutritional standards of populations abroad through the introduction of soybean foods. The World of Soy will be extremely informative to groups such as food companies, chefs, and international agencies seeking to expand the uses of soybeans."--Theodore Hymowitz, emeritus professor of plant genetics, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and author of Pedigrees of soybean cultivars released in the United States and Canada "What a marvelous, multifaceted work! As varied as the foodstuffs that derive from the bean itself--pungent fermented miso paste; nutty kinako toasted soy flour; delicate, shirred sheets of yuba soymilk; silken cubes of tofu custard; stinky and sticky natto beans--the essays and studies in The World of Soy provide readers with savory, rich, piquant, tangy, and spicy approaches to understanding and appreciating the global importance of soy."--Elizabeth Andoh, author of Washoku: Recipes from the Japanese Home Kitchen "This book is a major contribution to the literature on world crops. An up-to-date review of this vitally important food has long been needed, and The World of Soy fills the need with outstanding success. Particularly detailed and notably valuable are the accounts of currently produced soyfoods and how they are changing with new technology worldwide."--E. N. Anderson, author of Everyone Eats: Understanding Food and Culture "The story of soy encompasses every aspect of food and globalization, and The World of Soy takes us on an illuminating journey from the simple pleasures of home-cooking to the stark realities of mass industrial farming and food processing. This skillfully assembled collection should be at the core of every food studies curriculum."--Richard Wilk, professor and director of the food studies program at Indiana University, author of Home Cooking in the Global VillageTable of ContentsAcknowledgments vii Introduction: The Significance of Soy 1Sidney W.

Random House USA Inc The Kelloggs
Book Synopsis***2017 National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist for Nonfiction***What's more American than Corn Flakes? —Bing CrosbyFrom the much admired medical historian (“Markel shows just how compelling the medical history can be”—Andrea Barrett) and author of An Anatomy of Addiction (“Absorbing, vivid”—Sherwin Nuland, The New York Times Book Review, front page)—the story of America’s empire builders: John and Will Kellogg. John Harvey Kellogg was one of America’s most beloved physicians; a best-selling author, lecturer, and health-magazine publisher; founder of the Battle Creek Sanitarium; and patron saint of the pursuit of wellness. His youngest brother, Will, was the founder of the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company, which revolutionized the mass production of food and what we eat for breakfast. In The Kelloggs, Howard Markel tells the sweeping saga of these two extraordinary men, whose lifelong competition and enmity toward one another changed America’s notion of health and wellness from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries, and who helped change the course of American medicine, nutrition, wellness, and diet. The Kelloggs were of Puritan stock, a family that came to the shores of New England in the mid-seventeenth century, that became one of the biggest in the county, and then renounced it all for the religious calling of Ellen Harmon White, a self-proclaimed prophetess, and James White, whose new Seventh-day Adventist theology was based on Christian principles and sound body, mind, and hygiene rules—Ellen called it “health reform.” The Whites groomed the young John Kellogg for a central role in the Seventh-day Adventist Church and sent him to America’s finest Medical College. Kellogg’s main medical focus—and America’s number one malady: indigestion (Walt Whitman described it as “the great American evil”). Markel gives us the life and times of the Kellogg brothers of Battle Creek: Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and his world-famous Battle Creek Sanitarium medical center, spa, and grand hotel attracted thousands actively pursuing health and well-being. Among the guests: Mary Todd Lincoln, Amelia Earhart, Booker T. Washington, Johnny Weissmuller, Dale Carnegie, Sojourner Truth, Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and George Bernard Shaw. And the presidents he advised: Taft, Harding, Hoover, and Roosevelt, with first lady Eleanor. The brothers Kellogg experimented on malt, wheat, and corn meal, and, tinkering with special ovens and toasting devices, came up with a ready-to-eat, easily digested cereal they called Corn Flakes. As Markel chronicles the Kelloggs’ fascinating, Magnificent Ambersons–like ascent into the pantheon of American industrialists, we see the vast changes in American social mores that took shape in diet, health, medicine, philanthropy, and food manufacturing during seven decades—changing the lives of millions and helping to shape our industrial age.

Book SynopsisIf you’re one of the millions who have thought of trying a vegan diet but fear it’s too monotonous or unfamiliar, VB6 will introduce a flexible way of eating that you can really live with for life.Six years ago, an overweight, pre-diabetic Mark Bittman faced a medical directive: adopt a vegan diet or go on medication. He was no fan of a lifelong regimen of pills, but as a food writer he lived—and worked—to eat. So neither choice was appealing. His solution was a deal with himself. He would become a “flexitarian.” He adopted a diet heavy in vegetables, fruits, and grains by following a healthy vegan diet (no meat, dairy, or processed foods) all day. After 6:00 p.m. he’d eat however he wanted, though mostly in moderation. Beyond that, his plan involved no gimmicks, scales, calorie counting, or point systems. And there were no so-called forbidden foods—he ate mostly home-cooked meals that were as varie
