What you eat doesn't just impact you – it shapes the world around you.
Our endless food choices come at a steep cost. While millions still face undernutrition, food waste has become a major contributor to global warming. The industrialization of our food system harms biodiversity, diminishes nutritional value, fuels animal suffering, and damages the environment. The result? A planet in crisis, animals exploited, and diseases of excess on the rise.
Well Fed explores what's truly at stake. We can no longer focus solely on our own health – we must also consider the health of the planet and the well-being of the people and animals we share it with. James Collier delves into critical issues surrounding poor nutrition, its effects on physical and mental health, the environment, and animal welfare. Through his Five Pillars of Contemplative Nutrition James presents the essential considerations we need to make in the 21st century, encouraging us to make choices that benefit both ourselves and the planet. We already have the tools and resources to lead healthier lives and create positive ripple effects throughout the world-we just need to take action to protect them.
James Collier is co-founder and Chief Sustainable Nutrition Officer at Huel – one of the fastest-growing food businesses in the UK ever, having sold more than 350 million meals globally.
