Food, we need to talk : the science-based, humor-laced last word on eating, diet, and making peace with your body / by Gjata, Juna,author.; Phillips, Edward M.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."This is an unusual--and unusually interesting--exploration of diet, weight and health that touches on memoir but lands on practicality. It's a cut-to-the-chase book that makes you realize that not everything you know about dieting and weight loss--no matter how much you've read or experienced before--is true, and that way too much of your brain, your time and your pocketbook has been taken up with the endless (and futile) quest. The authors' two distinct voices thread and play off each other throughout the book as they cover these intensively-researched topics: -Metabolism -Why Every Diet Works ... and Then Doesn't -What Actually is "Healthy" Food? -The (Almost) Magic Pill: Exercise -Detox Teas, Juice Cleanses, Supplements, & Waist Trainers -The Science of Fat Loss -Sleep, Stress and Your Waistline -Disordered Eating or Eating Disorder? -The History of Dieting -The Biggest Key to Success -A Manifesto on Body Image -How to Make This Your Last Diet -Becoming a Professional BS Detector. Food, We Need To Talk is a young woman's look at the landscape of dieting, weight and health as it is right this moment--from the modern body-inclusivity movement to weight and dressing for social media instead of real life--as well as a very relatable doctor's long view. Together, they've created a unique, information-rich book with a real voice that entertains as it pulls you through"--

Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Sian Clifford, Olivia Colman, Jenny Rainsford, Bill Paterson, Brett Gelman, Andrew Scott, Hugh Skinner.Hilarious and hurtful, a confession of the modern woman Starring Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Olivia Colman and Bill Paterson, Fleabag is a hilarious and poignant window into the mind of a dry-witted, sexual, angry, porn-watching, grief-riddled woman trying to make sense of the world. As she hurls herself headlong at modern living, Fleabag is thrown roughly up against the walls of contemporary London, with all its frenetic energy, late nights and bright lights, in this very modern mix of fatalism and hedonism, sustaining a merry-go-round of broken dreamers.14A.Closed-captioned for the hearing impaired.DVD ; wide screen presentation ; 2.0 stereophonic.

Canada's other red scare : Indigenous protest and colonial encounters during the global sixties / by Rutherford, Scott,1979-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Indigenous activism put small-town northern Ontario on the map in the 1960s and early 1970s. Kenora, Ontario, was home to a four-hundred-person march, popularly called "Canada's First Civil Rights March," and a two-month-long armed occupation of a small lakefront park within a nine year span. Canada's Other Red Scare shows how important it is to link the local and the global to broaden narratives of resistance in the 1960s; it is a history not of isolated events closed off from the present but of decolonization as a continuing process. Scott Rutherford explores with rigour and sensitivity the Indigenous political protest and social struggle that took place in Northwestern Ontario and Treaty 3 territory from 1965 to 1974. Drawing on archival documents, media coverage, published interviews, memoirs and social movement literature, as well as his own lived experience as a settler growing up in Kenora, he reconstructs a period of turbulent protest and the responses it provoked, from support to disbelief to outright hostility. Indigenous organizers advocated for a wide range of issues, from better employment opportunities to the recognition of nationhood by using such tactics as marches, cultural production, community organizing, journalism, and armed occupation. They drew inspiration from global currents - from black American freedom movements to Third World decolonization - to challenge the inequalities and racial logics that shaped settler-colonialism and daily life in Kenora. Accessible and wide-reaching, Canada's Other Red Scare makes the case that Indigenous political protest during this period should be thought of as both local and transnational, an urgent exercise in confronting the experience of settler-colonialism in places and moments of protest, when its logic and acts of dispossession are held up like a mirror."--

Lean out : a meditation on the madness of modern life / by Henley, Tara,author.;
In 2016, journalist Tara Henley was at the top of her game working in Canadian media. She had traveled the world, from Soweto to Bangkok and Borneo to Brooklyn, interviewing authors and community leaders, politicians and Hollywood celebrities. But when she started getting chest pains at her desk in the newsroom, none of that seemed to matter. The health crisis--not cardiac, it turned out, but anxiety--forced her to step off the media treadmill and examine her life and the stressful twenty-first century world around her. Henley was not alone; North America was facing an epidemic of lifestyle-related health problems. And yet, the culture was continually celebrating the elite few who thrived in the always-on work world, those who perpetually leaned in. Henley realized that if we wanted innovative solutions to the wave of burnout and stress-related illness, it was time to talk to those who had leaned out. Part memoir, part travelogue, and part investigation, Lean Out tracks Henley's journey from the heart of the connected city to the fringe communities that surround it. From early retirement enthusiasts in urban British Columbia to moneyless men in rural Ireland, Henley uncovers a parallel track in which everyday citizens are quietly dropping out of the mainstream and reclaiming their lives from overwork. Underlying these disparate movements is a rejection of consumerism, a growing appetite for social contribution, and a quest for meaningful connection in this era of extreme isolation and loneliness. As she connects the dots between anxiety and overwork, Henley confronts the biggest issues of our time.

Deep rooted [videorecording] : exploring the mental health crisis in Canadian agriculture / by Cronk, Lynn,on-screen participant.; Norman, Kole,on-screen participant.; Raymond, Chantal,on-screen participant.; Boersma, Darryl,on-screen participant.; Wickiam, Van,film producer.; McDonnell, Kyle,film director.; McIntyre Media,film distributor.;
Featuring: Lynn Cronk, Kole Norman, Chantal Raymond, Darryl Boersma.The film follows four agriculture producers in discussing their mental health and how it relates to farming. There are an immeasurable number of stressors facing farmers and ranchers across the country, from weather and climate change, through to succession planning and farming legacy. Through these four agriculture producers, we get a glimpse into how and why this crisis persists in the farming community. With the help of experts and researchers, Deep Rooted also explores farm culture and its relationship to mental health. Stigmatization around mental health; depression, anxiety, stress and even suicide, continues to be perpetuated in the agricultural community, only deepening the taboo nature of seeking mental health care. The harsh reality is that those working in the agriculture industry continue to be one of the most vulnerable and underserved populations in relation to their mental health. Deep Rooted seeks to connect with farmers and agriculture workers; to give them a voice and humanize their struggle to bring attention to a problem that continues to worsen.E.DVD.
