Foodist is an approach that actually celebrates food while taking you through the nutrition and psychology involved in eating well to help you move beyond the daily obstacles and bad habits that keep the tasteless, empty, and unsatisfying food-like products on your plate. Losing weight no longer has to be about sacrifice, deprivation, and willpower, and food will turn from something you fight into something you can actually love again. As Darya writes, "You don't need a diet. You need an upgrade."

In We Are What We Eat, Alice Waters urges us to take up the mantle of slow food culture, the philosophy at the core of her life’s work. When Waters first opened Chez Panisse in 1971, she did so with the intention of feeding people good food during a time of political turmoil. Customers responded to the locally sourced organic ingredients, to the dishes made by hand, and to the welcoming hospitality that infused the small space - human qualities that were disappearing from a country increasingly seduced by takeout, frozen dinners, and prepackaged ingredients.

If a piece of individually wrapped cheese retains its shape, color, and texture for years, what does it say about the food we eat and feed our children? Former New York Times reporter and mother Melanie Warner decided to explore that question when she observed the phenomenon of the indestructible cheese. She began an investigative journey that takes her to research labs, food science departments, and factories around the country. What she discovered provides a rare, eye-opening - and sometimes disturbing - account of what we're really eating.

Story
Food writer Jonathan Kauffman journeys back more than half a century - to the 1960s and 1970s - to tell the story of how a coterie of unusual men and women embraced an alternative lifestyle that would ultimately change how modern Americans eat. Impeccably researched, Hippie Food chronicles how the longhairs, revolutionaries, and back-to-the-landers rejected the square establishment of President Richard Nixon's America and turned to a more idealistic and wholesome communal way of life and food.

Story
If a piece of individually wrapped cheese retains its shape, color, and texture for years, what does it say about the food we eat and feed our children? Former New York Times reporter and mother Melanie Warner decided to explore that question when she observed the phenomenon of the indestructible cheese. She began an investigative journey that takes her to research labs, food science departments, and factories around the country. What she discovered provides a rare, eye-opening - and sometimes disturbing - account of what we're really eating.

Story
The decade-long Great Depression, a period of shifts in the country's political and social landscape, forever changed the way America eats. Before 1929, America's relationship with food was defined by abundance. But the collapse of the economy, in both urban and rural America, left a quarter of all Americans out of work and undernourished - shattering long-held assumptions about the limitlessness of the national larder.

Pronunciation killed it!!!!
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
This was a short and concise summary of foods in Hawaii and the influence of other cultures. A very enjoyable topic BUT unfortunately, the pronunciation was abysmal and it was like nails on a chalk board!! I don't understand why readers don't take the time to learn just the basics of the words they need to pronounce when reading a book for AUDIBLE. I love audible books because I can do things while listening but this has to be the thing that is most frequently an irritation with books about foreign cultures. It is a common complaint in reviews and I reject books of interest based on people saying the pronunciation is bad. It is equivalent to an oral presentation when someone has a tic and scratches their ear every few seconds. You get distracted from the message. I can NOT concentrate on the flow of the dialogue when words are so OFF. I could make a long list for this short reading but the one that was hysterical and pitiful was POKE. It is not the same as COKE, the drink. It is PO--Kay. I don't expect perfect, I am a beginner in many languages but this was laughable and painful at the same time. Call me, I am free!! I will give your readers a brief one hour class in basic pronunciation for Hawaiian or Japanese or German or Spanish (that is all I can help you with) but even at my level I would not butcher it like this reader. Let's spare the next set of readers. Please redo this information that is of interest but have someone else read it. One of the greatest respects we can show other cultures is to pronounce the words of their language correctly. It is not about accent, it is about correct pronunciation---there is a difference. For Hawaiian pronunciation, contact one of the Hawaiian schools of language because they would gladly donate their time and are much better than me. Those of us that speak the English language would not like it if someone said "George BASH instead of George Bush". Now multiply that and mispronounce a word in almost every sentence. See what I mean???? Hard to concentrate on the message of the book. Good premise for the book but lost in the reading. I rarely write reviews but needed to share this---on the other hand I gave a review for WILD SWANS that was a 10 and if I could give more I would. Perfect pronunciation.
Would you recommend Hawaii Food Guide: Unique Foods from Hawaii You've Got to Try to your friends? Why or why not?
If you use this as a guide to speak the foods that you want while on your Hawaii vacation---you will stand out as a novice from the mainland. This is a recipe for WHAT NOT TO SAY
What didn’t you like about Sangita Chauhan’s performance?
BAD PRONUNCIATION. Speaks too fast.
What character would you cut from Hawaii Food Guide: Unique Foods from Hawaii You've Got to Try?
Here are the words that were enough to make me cringe:
Saimin, Katsu, Poke, Kakimochi, Mauna Loa and the list goes on but she did say one correctly---Azuki so one out of many is better than zero but still is a failing score
Any additional comments?
Great info, short reading, avoid it if you are going to reproduce her pronunciations or you will stand out like a sore thumb as a HAOLE and visitor with no respect for the language. By the way, I am not from Hawaii but it doesn't take much to do better than this.
