Description

Fred Provenza's Nourishment explores the wisdom body, a concept that links flavor-feedback relationships at a cellular level with biochemically rich foods to meet the body's nutritional and medicinal needs. Animal behaviorist Provenza and his colleagues have debunked the myth that domestic livestock are too dumb to know how to eat right, revealing a refined palate that selects from a variety of natural foods to meet their nutritional needs. Provenza delves into the fascinating complexity of these relationships, raising thought-provoking questions about what we can learn from animals about nutritional wisdom. He examines the formation of memories that shape our recognition of foods, the development of nutritional and medicinal memories in utero and early in life, and the impact of nutritional "authorities" on our ability to select nourishing diets. By exploring the relationships among ecological, social, and economic systems, Provenza sheds light on the importance of considering the interconnectedness of our world in light of an unpredictable future.
