Mindful Eating for the Beloved Community

Mindful Eating is a transformative collection of essays that seeks to provide a thoughtful and engaging way to revolutionize how and what we eat. Topics addressed include the positive impact of family meals on physical and emotional health, the negative consequences of not knowing where or how food is produced, and the practical details of mindfulness training. Written by a diverse group of chefs, nutritionists and food activists, Mindful Eating offers pragmatic strategies to rebuild the connections between diet, culture, faith, the environment and community well-being, with a focus on the deep connection between mindful eating, social justice and sustainability. Part philosophy, part activism and part action plan, Mindful Eating is a resource toward making sustainable change in our relationship to food, the individual and society as a whole.
