Decolonize Your Diet

Decolonize Your Diet is great book written by Luz
Calvo and Catriona R. Esquibel, it talks about how we as
a modern day society who live off of fast food restaurants, unhealthy fats and American based foods can
start to decolonize our diets and eat a more healthy way.
It shows us what health foods our ancestors would eat
hundred of years back and how we can recover to eat that
way once again. It shows healthy, vegetarian Mexican
foods (that also include some vegan foods). From the
publishers description it says: "They promote a diet rich in plants indigenous to the Americas (corn, beans, squash, greens, herbs, and seeds), and are passionate about the idea that Mexicans and Latinos/as living in the US and Canada need to ditch the fast food and return to their own culture's food roots for both physical health and spiritual fulfillment." 
I love how this book shows how food is the key
to health and how sacred it is for us. It teaches
us ways to make food taste so amazing by using
ingredients that are good for us. Following a
plant-based lifestyle has never been easier!
