 Awarded “Most Progressive Health Book of the Year”

2006 Independent Publisher Book Awards Outstanding Books of the Year

 

For 24 years the mission at Independent Publisher has been to recognize and encourage the work of publishers who exhibit the courage and creativity necessary to take chances, break new ground, and bring about change, not only to the world of publishing, but to our society. The Live Food Factor was recently won first place in the category of “most progressive health book of 2006.”

Up until five thousand generations of humans ago, it was unheard of to cook one’s food. As man and food evolved, the two have become less and less compatible, especially given modern man’s penchant for processed, sugar-laden, fatty foods.

In her first book, titled The Live Food Factor – A Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit, & Planet, author Susan Schenck weaves scientific proof, testimonials, and history, presenting the first-ever comprehensive raw foods guide.

Need scientific proof that raw food heals? Schenck has assimilated 29 scientific experiments from all over the world. For those needing more hand-holding, Schenck gives a blow-by-blow account of “going raw”, both cold-turkey and more gradually.

This 520-page book is split into four sections: one is an overview of going raw’s benefits; two showcases the scientific reasons for going raw; three highlights the raw movement’s history and its leadership; and four is a complete how-to manual.

Over 60 flavorful recipes round out the book, called by the president of Living Tree Community Jesse Schwartz “…the best compendium we’ve seen on alive food.”

Joe Alexander, author Blatant Raw Food Propaganda has declared that Schenck’s book is, “The most impressive and convincing book on the subject I’ve ever seen….It will be the new classic of the raw food movement.”

Raw food author and chef concurs with many others when he declares, "The Live Food Factor is the most comprehensive book ever written about the raw food diet. Anyone interested in health should own a copy. Susan Schenck did a great job. I'm excited about this book because I know it will help people.”
