Download or read book The Avocado Debate written by Honor May Eldridge and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-24 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether smashed on toast or hailed as a superfood, the avocado has taken the world by storm, but what are the environmental and social impacts of this trendy fruit? This book does not seek to demonise the avocado and its many enthusiasts. Instead, it will illuminate consumers on the often unseen impacts of foods. A staple of cafes, restaurants, homes, and social media channels, demand for the avocado has grown exponentially over the past thirty years. From an everyday crop in South and Central America to a global phenomenon, this drastic change in demand has many consequences for people and the planet. As demand grows, so does the need for more land, with land clearances threatening habitats and biodiversity. As production grows, so does global distribution and the impacts that air and sea travel have on the environment. The shift from a local to a global product disturbs the local food system, raising serious questions around food sovereignty and food justice and the importance of establishing an agricultural system that is both environmentally and socially just. While focusing here on the avocado, this book allows readers to gain a better understanding of the food system as a whole. In doing so, it empowers us all to think carefully and critically about the environmental and ethical implications of our food choices more broadly. We shouldn’t feel guilty about eating avocados, we should simply understand the impact of doing so. This book is essential reading for all who are interested in learning more about the food system, sustainable diets, and the relationship between farming and the environment.

Book excerpt: Award-winning author Jonathan Herbert A fishing trip turns deadly for a young journalist off the Florida Keys. When Butch Sands agreed to go fishing with a wealthy New York City businessman and his cast of nomadic characters, the thought of lurking Cuban pirates never crossed his mind, and the surreal devastation of a terrorist attack on American soil made his desire to get home to Hailey Thomas an impossible reality. After their boat is seized on the open water, his only hope for survival lies underground on a nameless island south of Key West. He is forced to trust a complete stranger who promises a hidden fortune of cash and silver in exchange for their lives - and when everything unravels, an unlikely hero arises. Praise for Jonathan Herbert "In Silver King, terrorism and piracy are very much alive in the twenty-first century. Herbert highlights both of these absolute truths in this suspenseful adventure, played out beyond the southern-most tip of Florida." —Gulf Coast Times "Herbert finds a way to reel you in to a disconnected paradise where wealth trumps justice, most of the time." —Cincinnati Enquirer for Banyan Street "A riveting, engaging first effort by a budding author with talent." —Englewood Sun for Banyan Street "Herbert is right on point with his novel. Suspenseful, intriguing, and a little shocking." —Gulf Coast Times for Banyan Street

Download or read book The Wild Diet written by Abel James and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-04-07 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The creator of The Fat-Burning Man Show shares his revolutionary Paleo-inspired weight-loss program Every month, half a million visitors download The Fat-Burning Man Show, eager to learn the secret of Abel James’s incredible weight-loss success. Growing up on a defunct farm in the backwoods of New Hampshire, Abel had easy access to a host of natural foods that a backyard garden could provide: eggs, fresh produce, and real butter. But as he got older, he started eating a "modern diet" of processed foods, and by his early twenties, Abel found himself with high blood pressure, insomnia, acne, digestive problems, and love handles. Following the typical dieting advice of “eat less, exercise more,” and despite running thirty miles a week and nibbling tasteless, low-fat, low-calorie food, his health only worsened as his waistline expanded. In an effort to gain control of his health, Abel dug deep into nutrition research and discovered that everything he’d been told about low-calorie eating was wrong. He realized that our bodies are wired to eat luxuriously—and burn fat—as long as we’re eating real, natural foods that are grown on a farm and not in a factory. Incredibly, after just a few days of eating a Paleo-inspired diet of the most delicious "wild" foods that were rich in fat and fiber, Abel’s health problems began to disappear. And after forty days—and radically cutting back his exercise routine—he had lost twenty pounds. The Wild Diet is the book Abel’s hundreds of thousands of fans have been clamoring for. At a time when our collective health is failing, Abel sounds a clarion call to announce that good health doesn’t live in a pill, exercise program, or soul-crushing diet. The secret is simply getting back to our wild roots and eating the way we have for centuries.

Download or read book Around Mt Helix written by James D. Newland and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-26 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, the morning of Easter Sunday, thousands of intrepid souls trek to the summit of San Diego County's Mt. Helix. Once there, they experience the nearly century-old tradition of a community-based sunrise service held at the historic Mt. Helix Nature Theater. Constructed for that purpose in 1925, and located in a unique, privately-owned "public" park, the landmark serves as just one of the reasons this conically shaped peak has become a regional, cultural, and natural icon. Named for a rare gastropod, the 1,375-foot-high pinnacle also serves as a geographic beacon for the mostly unincorporated surrounding communities of Mt. Helix, Grossmont, Calavo Gardens, Casa de Oro, Spring Valley, and the adjacent, historically related municipalities of El Cajon, Lemon Grove, and La Mesa. Today, these semirural communities are renowned for their idyllic, family-friendly neighborhoods; classic early-20th-century Revival-style and custom midcentury Modern architecture; and long-standing commercial and civic institutions.
