Author: Gagné, Steve

Food is more than simply fuel. It imparts a living wisdom beyond the mechanics of calories, grams, and nutrient values. Through their relationships with the plants and animals they ate, ancient peoples understood that food conveys the energetic qualities of its source - swiftness from wild deer, groundedness from root vegetables. In an age of industrial food production, this book shows how to remedy physical and psychic imbalances by revitalizing our connection to food. Gagne provides a comprehensive catalog of foods and their energetic effects. Previously titled The Energetics of Food. 576 pp.
