Between 1850 and 1950, experts and entrepreneurs in Britain and the United States forged new connections between the nutrition sciences and the commercial realm through their enthusiasm for new edible consumables. The resulting food products promised wondrous solutions for what seemed to be both individual and social ills. By examining creations such as Gail Borden's meat biscuit, Benger's Food, Kellogg's health foods, and Fleischmann's yeast, Wonder Foods shows how new products dazzled with visions of modernity, efficiency, and scientific progress even as they perpetuated exclusionary views about who deserved to eat, thrive, and live. Drawing on extensive archival research, historian Lisa Haushofer reveals that the story of modern food and nutrition was not about innocuous technological advances or superior scientific insights, but rather about the powerful logic of exploitation and economization that undergirded colonial and industrial food projects. In the process, these wonder foods shaped both modern food regimes and how we think about food.

If you’re ever in a curious mood, Google the words, “food” and “the best medicine.” Three guesses what you’ll come up with.We’ve always known this—that food is the best medicine—but few of us realize how powerful this medicine is. Food has been called, “the ultimate and most powerful drug” by Dr. Barry Sears. Food has been singled out as “the most important treatment of any illness, and the only physical thingthat can prevent it,” paraphrased, by too many doctors to list.However, there are “SuperFoods” — foods that are THE most powerful, THE most effective at encouraging internal healing, and THE most preventative. While the list is longer than ten, we decided to compile our favorites for help you save money and you in this Special Report.Motivational guru Jim Rohn says, “Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn’t going to get the job done.” Jim is referencing procrastination and success. You must consume these foods regularly to notice any health benefits! In the same way that you can eat junk food on occasion and not suffer any negative consequences health-wise, you can eat these SuperFoods on rare occasion and never see any benefits from your efforts.Consume at least three to five of these SuperFoods daily, if not more, and if not more often!They are that powerful... and they are all found in your local grocery store. There’s nothing “super” about their location, merely their potential impact on your immediate health and body fat levels.Specially, many of the foods cited in this Special Report have been shown clinically to reduce and/or prevent the onset of various diseases, such as cancer, type II diabetes, heart disease, and strokes. They greatly assist in slowing the aging process as well. People who seem to be “forever young” generally consume a large amount of the foods listed in this report.

Fermented Foods serves up the history and science behind some of the world’s most enduring food and drink. It begins with wine, beer, and other heady brews before going on to explore the fascinating and often whimsical histories of fermented breads, dairy, vegetables, and meat, and to speculate on fermented fare’s possible future. Along the way, we learn about Roquefort cheese’s fabled origins, the scientific drive to brew better beer, the then-controversial biological theory that saved French wine, and much more. Christine Baumgarthuber also makes several detours into lesser known ferments—African beers, the formidable cured meats of the Subarctic latitudes, and the piquant, sometimes deadly ferments of Southeast Asia. Anyone in search of an accessible, fun, yet comprehensive survey of the world’s fermented foods need look no further than this timely, necessary work.
