The Seasons on Henry's Farm: A Year of Food and Life on a Sustainable Farm

Terra Brockman

Henry's Farm, run by Henry Brockman, is in central Illinois — some of the richest farming land in the world. There, he and his family — five generations of farmers, including sister Terra, the author — have bucked the traditional agribusiness conventional wisdom by farming in a way that's sensible, sustainable, and focused on producing healthy, nutritious food in ways that doesn't despoil the land. Terra Brockman tells the story of her family and their life on the farm in the form of a year-long memoir (with recipes) that takes readers through each season of life on the farm. Studded with vignettes, digressions, photographs, family stories, and illustrations of the farm's vivid plant life, the book is a one-of-a-kind treasure that will appeal to readers of Michael Pollan, E. B. White, Gretel Ehrlich, and Sandra Steingraber.

The Green Gourmet Organic Diet Book: Your Guide To Healthy, Natural Weight Loss

Lori Jane Stewart

Another #1 Best Seller from the author of #1 Best Selling '50 Low Carb Brown Bag Lunch Recipes' and #1 Best Selling 'The Perfect Cup of Tea Book''

A lot of people think that simply reducing the amount of food they eat will solve their weight loss problems. A person who doesn't eat at all will definitely lose weight.

But crash dieting is dangerous and ineffective.

You shed a lot of pounds, yes, but you also go through a lot of stress, both physical and mental in the process. The hunger, weakness and general feeling of lousiness can weaken the resolve of even the most ardent dieter.

And then there's the problem of keeping any lost weight off for good.

A lot of dieters simply go back to their old diet once they shed off a few pounds, especially if they have a target weight in mind. All it takes is a buffet dinner party or the smell of a cheeseburger to slowly slide back into the food that was comfortable.

This does not mean, however, that you should not avoid dieting altogether.

Healthy dieting is less about depriving yourself of food and more about eating the right kind of food - food that is healthy, filling and delicious all at the same time.

Now the problem lies in the quality of the food you eat.

A lot of the fruits, vegetables and animal products are chock-full of chemical additives and have been genetically modified. These additives and modifications make these products bigger and look better than they should be, which means more profit for the people that grow and sell them to you.

And let's face it - these kinds of food taste like paper anyway. You will know what I mean when you compare the flavor of organic beef with regular commercial beef.

You can almost taste the earthy, meaty flavor in each bite of organic beef, while plain old beef needs a lot of sauce and seasoning to produce any flavor at all.

This is where organic dieting comes in.

Here's the question: do you want to eat food that contains poisons and could give you cancer, or do you want to eat food that's healthy, safe and delicious all at the same time?

Organic foods are not new. They are the original way crops and livestock were raised, back before chemicals and additives produced bigger (and more profitable) goods.

This makes them the perfect food for the health-conscious dieter, and this is exactly what we'll be talking about in this book.

Bonus! In this revised edition you get an incredible 150+ meal ideas - beef, pork, poultry & vegetarian.
