Overview

"Food for Freedom: Reclaiming Our Health and Rescuing Our World is an exploration into the underlying cultural food narratives in our society, and how they have eroded our freedom, health, spirituality, and awareness. It aims to provide alternatives that promote these qualities, and to offer a wide range of practical steps we can each take to reinvigorate and liberate our lives and our culture. The basic idea is that we have all been wounded from infancy onward, compelled to participate in our culture's defining social ritual-our meals. With insufficient awareness of the consequences of our routine mistreatment of animals for food, we are causing an ongoing cascade of events and conditions that are harmful to us on every level.For example, most of us understand that we are being increasingly confronted by weaponized medical, media, monetary, and governmental policies that attack our health, our freedom, and our children. What most of us don't seem to understand is how these attacks mirror, and emerge directly from, our daily attacks on the health, freedom, and offspring of the animals we classify as livestock. We are called to explore the deeper, hidden driving forces that propel the situations we find unfolding around us. By making connections that we have been taught not to make, we can rescue ourselves, animals, nature, and our world from the unrecognized harmful repercussions of our food system and its narratives, not just on our physical, environmental, and cultural health, but also on the internal landscape of our attitudes and feelings. This is the empowering adventure that beckons.This book is divided into two sections. Part One, ""Our Banquet of Consequences,"" provides the foundational ideas, and Part Two, ""The Two Futures: The Path of Technology and the Path of Spirituality,"" provides a deeper exploration into our situation and into the devastating impact of official narratives, in order to illuminate and help guide us individually and collectively to a positive shared future. This book is intended to shine light on the connections between food and freedom, and to illuminate what food for freedom actually is."

""Dr. Will Tuttle and his wife Madeleine have created over many years a unique litany of information and thoughtful contributions for human- kind that is, in my experience, unmatched. Their musical performances and their love for us fellow human beings are heartfelt, as many who have heard their presentations and performances will say. Recording their thoughts and their honest sense of food and its relationship to hu- man health and our welfare into this book is a treasure, as any reader will find."" -Dr. T. Colin Campbell, best-selling author and Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University ""Food for Freedom is an outstanding book of the vegan way of life as an expression of all aspects of our true human nature at its highest level. Dr. Will Tuttle creates a scientific and wisdom-filled explanation of the vegan way that has been rarely expressed in one place. This book is a holistic work of art, science, and basic spiritual wisdom that will help readers develop a fully illuminated world view on the vegan way of life."" -Dr. Gabriel Cousens, M.D., world recognized Essene teacher and author ""Dr. Tuttle's devotion to human and planetary health is unquestiona- ble, and in this new offering Food for Freedom, he further expounds and expands on the multitude of purposeful reasons that we must all embrace profound change."" -Dr. Brian Clement, best-selling author, and director, Hippocrates Wellness ""Dr. Tuttle has done it again. His World Peace Diet masterpiece, ac- claimed around the world and translated into many languages, shocked readers into a new awareness of the sacredness of all life and our urgent need to end human violence toward animals, the Earth and each other. Food For Freedom not only elegantly expands on the WPD teachings, but also boldly addresses the myriad crises that seem to have engulfed the world in these last few years. With hundreds of references and re- sources, Food for Freedom elucidates where we are, how we got here, how we can face the truth of what is really happening and how we can finally bring freedom, peace and joy to our own hearts, to each other and to all beings. May freedom and wisdom be with you as you read this guide to our true destiny."" -Judy McCoy Carman, author, Peace to All Beings and Homo Ahimsa ""Food for Freedom is a brilliant, effortless read that is at the same time specific and all-encompassing. Dr. Tuttle connects the dots between ani- mal herding, enslavement, and slaughter, and our own bondage and servitude at the hands of the wealthy few. His detailed descriptions of technical, political, and industrial tactics used to brainwash and control us are unparalleled. He reminds us of the spiritual awareness born within each of us that can be tapped into and used to inspire us to find our own life's calling and make this world a better place for all life on this won- drous planet."" -Britt Lind, founder, Kindness and Science in Action"
