Description
First published in 1974 and even more relevant today, a natural and whole foods guide the voice of black consciousness, cultural icon Dick Gregory, the incomparable satirist, human rights and environmental activist, health advocate, social justice champion, and author of the NAACP Image Award-winning Defining Moments in Black History: Reading Between the Lies and the classic bestseller Nigger: An Autobiography.
Written with Dick Gregory's irreverent wit and informed by his deep intelligence, Dick Gregory's Natural Diet for Folks Who Eat is for real people who are concerned about their health and wellness. Gregory offers an enlightening introduction to natural foods, and offers a wickedly amusing and informative assessment of how our modern diet damages the human digestive tract, and raises our consciousness about the political power of food.
Gregory argues that how you treat yourself and your body reflects how you treat others. He discusses various fasts and the ones he's done for both political and health reasons, hunger in America, navy beans, and how Americans are changing the way they eat--the beginning of a movement in the 1970s that is still felt today. He offers suggestions on diets to help you gain or lose pounds and offers advice on natural substitutes for favorite alcoholic drinks. You are what you eat--with Dick Gregory's Natural Diet for Folks Who Eat you can laugh your way to better health.
