#unco12: Health, Food, Boundaries Break-Out Resources

Here are list of resources I mentioned and/or remember from our awesome break-out discussion at #unco12. Hope they're helpful.

"Good Calories, Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes: http://goo.gl/fbSi7

"Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It" by Gary Taubes http://goo.gl/AIU7N - A distillation of "Good Calories, Bad Calories" - much shorter, with more accessible language. It reads less like a dense book of scientific research than the first book, but still contains all of the same, important information. 

Gary Taubes at the Walnut Creek Library on 04.02.11 http://youtu.be/MyXa39ICIrk - If you don't have time to read the books right now, watch this 10 part YouTube video series, where Gary Taubes outlines the bulk of his research through PowerPoint and lecture.

From Newsweek Online/The Daily Beast: "Why the Campaign to Stop America's Obesity Crisis Keeps Failing." http://goo.gl/RqKDs

"A Glimpse of Jesus: The Stranger to Self-Hatred" by Brennan Manning - http://goo.gl/vOLoe I don't know that I had the opportunity to mention this book, but I meant to. I really enjoyed reading it and thought others might be able to take something from a part of it, even if not all of it.

"The Fat Jesus: Christianity and Body Image" by Lisa Isherwood. http://goo.gl/zUPJW - Someone else mentioned this book. I thought I'd include it in the list, as it was mentioned in passing and I didn't know if it made it into our curated list of resources. :)

"The War on Insulin" blog by Peter Attia, M.D. http://goo.gl/ZdekQ - A great resource for alternative ways of thinking about nutrition, written by a doctor, based on much of his own personal experiences and engagement with the medial community.
