HEALING CUISINE

A Lecture by Meredith McCarty, Holistic Nutritionist and Cookbook

Author

 

On July 25, Holistic Nutritionist and Cookbook Author Meredith McCarty

will speak on Healing Cuisine. Today eating well means eating a

plant-based whole foods diet, one that includes the foods that are

attracting international attention for both the prevention of and

recovery from disease. Healing cuisines are the traditional culinary

practices of the longest-lived cultures on the planet. Modern

macrobiotic dietary recommendations integrate the present with the

past by focusing on the foods that have always supplied humanity with

the greatest nutritional support, prepared in ways that fit American

lifestyles today.

 

In addition to a show and tell of healing foods and how to use them,

Meredith will cover the latest scientific information from groups such

as the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and MDs such as

Andrew Weil and John McDougall, and will compare the 2005 USDA Food

Pyramid with the cutting-edge Healing Foods Pyramid from the

University of Michigan's Integrative Medicine Department.

 

As a holistic nutritionist (certified Diet Counselor and Nutrition

Educator), Meredith has helped hundreds of people get their lives back

by turning poor habits into healthy choices. Meredith created Healing

Cuisine in 1995 as a way to integrate her 30 years of teaching

experience with her consulting services and lectures. She has written

three cookbooks, including the award-winning Sweet and Natural, and

produced a bread making video. She was an Associate Editor of Natural

Health magazine, and Co-Director of The Center of Macrobiotics in

Eureka for 20 years.
