Download or read book Candy written by Samira Kawash and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most Americans, candy is an uneasy pleasure, eaten with side helpings of guilt and worry. Yet candy accounts for only 6 percent of the added sugar in the American diet. And at least it's honest about what it is—a processed food, eaten for pleasure, with no particular nutritional benefit. So why is candy considered especially harmful, when it's not so different from the other processed foods, from sports bars to fruit snacks, that line supermarket shelves? How did our definitions of food and candy come to be so muddled? And how did candy come to be the scapegoat for our fears about the dangers of food? In Candy: A Century of Panic and Pleasure, Samira Kawash tells the fascinating story of how candy evolved from a luxury good to a cheap, everyday snack. After candy making was revolutionized in the early decades of mass production, it was celebrated as a new kind of food for energy and enjoyment. Riding the rise in snacking and exploiting early nutritional science, candy was the first of the panoply of "junk foods" that would take over the American diet in the decades after the Second World War—convenient and pleasurable, for eating anytime or all the time. And yet, food reformers and moral crusaders have always attacked candy, blaming it for poisoning, alcoholism, sexual depravity and fatal disease. These charges have been disproven and forgotten, but the mistrust of candy they produced has never diminished. The anxiety and confusion that most Americans have about their diets today is a legacy of the tumultuous story of candy, the most loved and loathed of processed foods.Candy is an essential, addictive read for anyone who loves lively cultural history, who cares about food, and who wouldn't mind feeling a bit better about eating a few jelly beans.

Book excerpt: “Look, Mick,” he said, “you’re going to find out from somebody in the gym, so you might as well find out from me. Those supplements you’re taking? They might get you a little bigger, but just a little. If you’re after serious results, there’s other stuff that produces better results much faster, stuff that a lot of guys in the gym use.” “What other stuff?” “You know what I’m talking about—gym candy.” Runningback Mick Johnson has dreams: dreams of cutting back, finding the hole, breaking into the open, and running free with nothing but green grass ahead. He has dreams of winning and of being the best. But football is a cruel sport. It requires power, grace, speed, quickness, and knowledge of the game. It takes luck, too. One crazy bounce can turn a likely victory into sudden defeat. What elite athlete wouldn’t look for an edge? A way to make him bigger, stronger, faster? This novel explores the dark corners of the heart of a young football player as he struggles for success under the always glaring—and often unforgiving—stadium lights.

Download or read book Good Seeds written by Thomas Pecore Weso and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2016-07-26 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this food memoir, named for the manoomin or wild rice that also gives the Menominee tribe its name, tribal member Thomas Pecore Weso takes readers on a cook’s journey through Wisconsin’s northern woods. He connects each food—beaver, trout, blackberry, wild rice, maple sugar, partridge—with colorful individuals who taught him Indigenous values. Cooks will learn from his authentic recipes. Amateur and professional historians will appreciate firsthand stories about reservation life during the mid-twentieth century, when many elders, fluent in the Algonquian language, practiced the old ways. Weso’s grandfather Moon was considered a medicine man, and his morning prayers were the foundation for all the day’s meals. Weso’s grandmother Jennie "made fire" each morning in a wood-burning stove, and oversaw huge breakfasts of wild game, fish, and fruit pies. As Weso grew up, his uncles taught him to hunt bear, deer, squirrels, raccoons, and even skunks for the daily larder. He remembers foods served at the Menominee fair and the excitement of "sugar bush," maple sugar gatherings that included dances as well as hard work. Weso uses humor to tell his own story as a boy learning to thrive in a land of icy winters and summer swamps. With his rare perspective as a Native anthropologist and artist, he tells a poignant personal story in this unique book.

Download or read book The Red and the Black written by Robert Miklitsch and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2016-12-07 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical wisdom has it that we said a long goodbye to film noir in the 1950s. Robert Miklitsch begs to differ. Pursuing leads down the back streets and alleyways of cultural history, The Red and the Black proposes that the received rise-and-fall narrative about the genre radically undervalues the formal and thematic complexity of '50s noir and the dynamic segue it effected between the spectacular expressionism of '40s noir and early, modernist neo-noir. Mixing scholarship with a fan's devotion to the crooked roads of critique, Miklitsch autopsies marquee films like D.O.A., Niagara, and Kiss Me Deadly plus a number of lesser-known classics. Throughout, he addresses the social and technological factors that dealt deuce after deuce to the genre--its celebrated style threatened by new media and technologies such as TV and 3-D, color and widescreen, its born losers replaced like zombies by All-American heroes, the nation rocked by the red menace and nightmares of nuclear annihilation. But against all odds, the author argues, inventive filmmakers continued to make formally daring and socially compelling pictures that remain surprisingly, startlingly alive. Cutting-edge and entertaining, The Red and the Black reconsiders a lost period in the history of American movies.

Fifteen-year-old Stella, who has been misunderstood, bullied, and ostracized because of her severe food allergies, is mostly a loner who is fine with being ignored by the entire student body. She is perfectly happy being a party of two with her best friend, Izzy. Unfortunately, Izzy has other ideas and is trying her best to fit in with the ever-popular, Emma, and her gaggle of minions. As Izzy slowly morphs into her new role as Emma’s sidekick, Stella retreats into her books where she always finds peace. While she deflects attacks from Emma, Stella can’t wait for the day she gets to leave this small town knowing she just doesn’t fit in. Meanwhile, Stella’s dad suggests that she volunteer at the local animal shelter, and although not necessarily in her nature to embrace new adventures, Stella decides to give it a try. As she makes new friends, in both human and dog form, will Stella finally see the light at the end of the high school tunnel? In this inspiring story, a teen who has been misunderstood and bullied for life-threatening food allergies finds the courage to trust herself after gaining strength from some heartwarming rescue dogs.

Download or read book Nibbly Noshers written by Kathryn L. Crouch and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These stories are about a group of sweet loving mice called The Nibbly Noshers. They could be made up by anyone with a little bit of imagination and based anywhere in the world. Kathryn happens to live in Morecambe in Lancashire and the best view she can think of is across Morecambe Bay over to the Lake District. This is where the stories are based. These first stories have been written for fun and to capture the imagination of a generation of children, whose main exposure seems to be DVDs, television and computer games. The Nibbly Noshers live in a food orientated world, in which they have lots of adventures. The characters are built upon this devise and the descriptive narrative allows the child's imagination to take over. The mice are tiny creatures who live in a village made up of sweets, for example, their houses are of gingerbread, with rice paper windows and chocolate doors; the roads are of liquorice and the trees are fruit flavoured lollipops. The mice are always hungry and always eating but they get lots of exercise and ALWAYS clean their teeth! They battle with their 'enemies' called the Spice Cats, who shake spices out of their fur and are always after the Nibbly Noshers, although the mice always win!
