The United States is currently embroiled in a national debate over the growing public health crisis caused by poor diet. People are starting to ask who is to blame and how can we fix the problem, especially among children. Major food companies are responding with a massive public relations campaign. These companies, including McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Kraft, and General Mills, are increasingly on the defensive. In response, they pretend to sell healthier food and otherwise position themselves as "part of the solution." Yet they continue to lobby against commonsense nutrition policies. Appetite for Profit exposes this hypocrisy and explains how to fight back by offering reliable resources. Readers will learn how to spot the PR and how to organize to improve food in schools and elsewhere. For the first time, author Michele Simon explains why we cannot trust food corporations to "do the right thing." She describes the local battles of going up against the powerful food lobbies and offers a comprehensive guide to the public relations, front groups, and lobbying tactics that food companies employ to trick the American public. Simon also provides an entertaining glossary that explains corporate rhetoric, including phrases like "better-for-you foods" and "frivolous lawsuit."

If you or someone you know suffers from heart disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity, stress, or any other cardiac risk factor, "Total Heart Health" is for you. Presented here for the first time in a comprehensive, yet easy-to-follow format is a scientifically proven, side effect-free approach to prevent and treat cardiovascular disese based on the world's oldest, most complete, scientific system of natural medicine. Modern heart disease drugs and surgery can be dangerous and ineffective-often with harmful side effects. In contrast, the "Total Heart Health" program is a safe, successful, and easy-to-use alternative to this dilemma. The "Total Heart Health" program is based on the Maharishi Vedic Approach to Health and has been used by hundreds of thousands of people. It achieves dramatic results through such simple, naural approaches as stress-reducing meditation; diet, herbal supplements, and exercise according to your individual mind-body type; a healthy environment, sound therapy, and many more. And all of these methods are designed to enliven the body's healing intelligence-your own inner healer. Here you will find the convincing results of more than twenty years of scientific research and clinical experience, which demonstrate that the "Total Heart Health" program slows or reverses heart disease, hypertension, stress, and other risk factors. But more than that, the people using this approach have enjoyed longer, healthier, and happier lives. This book is a "must read" for scientifically validated, natural approaches to preventing or reversing heart disease.

This work includes Foreword by Ian Banks - President, Men's Health Forum. Traditionally, men have been seen as reluctant to access health services, but getting men to engage with their health isn't an impossible task once you're equipped with a few tricks of the trade. This concise, easy to read guide offers a no-nonsense, practical approach to the development and implementation of men's health programmes. Based on years of wide-ranging experience, the book is designed for anyone who is involved in service delivery for men and boys, and demonstrates what can be achieved with adequate resources, a flexible approach and a sound understanding of men's needs. It is ideal for all healthcare professionals and managers, and medicine and nursing students undertaking specialist men's health and health promotion courses. It is also of great interest to teachers and youth leaders, including school nurses. Healthcare policy makers and shapers will find it enlightening reading. 'This book is for anyone who wants to find out how to successfully set up and deliver health services aimed at men and boys. Traditionally, men have been seen as reluctant to access health services, but getting men to engage with their health isn't an impossible task once you're equipped with a few tricks of the trade. Although this is primarily intended to be a practical guide, much of the book will also be of interest to academics, policy makers and managers. It demonstrates what can be achieved with adequate resources, a flexible approach and a sound understanding of men's needs.' - David Conrad and Alan White, in the Preface. 'As an issue men's health is plagued by myth, ignorance and inequality, but most of all by a lack of solid research based on evidence-based work with men themselves. Lofty academics pontificate endlessly on the meaning of 'masculinity' yet never get their invariably white Caucasian, middle class hands dirty on what really impacts on Y chromosome owners. The Bradford team didn't just wonder about masculinity and scratch male pattern baldness, they did something measurable about men's health and ethnicity so other workers could use their evidence base to actually change the dreadful health status quo. An excellent and unique "Dirty Hands Manual".' - Ian Banks, in the Foreword.
