Book 94: "Women, Food and God" by Maryann Tomovich Jacobsen
Quote from the book, "No matter how developed you are in any other areas of your life, no matter what you say you believe, no matter how sophisticated or enlightened you think you are, how you eat says it all."
If there possibly can be a new way of looking at how we and what we eat, Maryann Jacobsen may have found it in her new book. Not only does she encourage women to distance themselves from diets and focusing on body image, but to go further and embrace the feelings you desire from the foods that you crave (i.e. it's not about the "forbidden cookies", it's about the "feelings" you get from having them--so, not to be overly simplistic here--pursue the feelings, not the food).
