Description Unprocessed: My City-Dwelling Year of Reclaiming Real Food by Megan Kimble English | 23 July 2015 | ISBN: 0062382462 | 352 Pages | EPUB/AZW3/PDF (conv) | 5.14 MB In the tradition of Michael Pollans bestselling In Defense of Food comes this remarkable chronicle, from a founding editor of Edible Baja Arizona, of a young womans year-long journey of eating only whole, unprocessed foods-intertwined with a journalistic exploration of what "unprocessed" really means, why it matters, and how to afford it. In January of 2012, Megan Kimble was a twenty-six-year-old living in a small apartment without even a garden Description to her name. But she cared about where food came from, how it was made, and what it did to her body: so she decided to go an entire year without eating processed foods. Unprocessed is the narrative of Megans extraordinary year, in which she milled wheat, extracted salt from the sea, milked a goat, slaughtered a sheep, and more-all while earning an income that fell well below the federal poverty line. What makes a food processed? As Megan would soon realize, the answer to that question went far beyond cutting out snacks and sodas, and became a fascinating journey through Americas food system, past and present. She learned how wheat became white; how fresh produce was globalized and animals industrialized. But she also discovered that in daily life, as she attempted to balance her project with a normal social life-which included dating-the question of what made a food processed was inextricably tied to gender and economy, politics and money, work and play. Backed by extensive research and wide-ranging interviews-and including tips on how to ditch processed food and transition to a real-food lifestyle-Unprocessed offers provocative insights not only on the process of food, but also the processes that shape our habits, communities, and day-to-day lives.
