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.
