Books to guide you by Sarah… The Healthy Home Economist
Author Sarah Pope
After earning her Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Furman University where she was valedictorian of her class, graduating summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa and subsequently receiving a Masters of Government Administration with a major in Public Financial Management from the University of Pennsylvania, Sarah worked for over 10 years in the field of Information Technology designing Financial Systems for private and government organizations.
As people so often do after a decade or so of working in the corporate world, Sarah wondered if there might be more to life. So she withdrew from the workaday lifestyle, started a consultancy business and eased into family life – eventually having three babies all born naturally at a local birthing center. All three children spent their first night at home with their parents.
She’s living proof of the old adage, “you’ll do for love what you’ll never do for money”. Prior to the birth of her first child, Sarah began educating herself by all means possible on matters of naturally raising children with full health in a world seemingly bent on preventing such an achievement. The more she discovered, the more she learned that others wanted access to the same information too. After eight years of serving as a local Chapter Leader for the Weston A. Price Foundation, she began writing a blog at www.TheHealthyHomeEconomist.com which now contains more than a thousand posts, recipes and videos. It’s become a major undertaking and, for the first-time reader, may well appear to be a daunting body of knowledge to encounter.
In an effort to make the information more accessible to those first-time readers (as well as anyone else who wants to focus on particular areas), Sarah has started gathering posts on particular subjects together and, combining them with additional research, published them as books. These books are in a series called The Healthy Home Economist Guide and are first made available in electronic format, then published as paperbacks.
review: Get Your Fats Straight
"Our favorite blogger, Sarah Pope of thehealthyhomeeconomist.com, knows what mothers are dealing with these days—lack of time, lack of resources, family stresses and frequent and recurring health problems in their children. These moms don't have the time to do research on diet and health. They need answers, practical answers, and right away.
What should they do first? Buy organic? Go on a diet? Detox? It's none of these, says Sarah. The most important first step is to get your fats right. That means getting the three most important fats in your diet right away: butter, coconut oil and cod liver oil. Then include all the delicious high-fat foods in your diet, such as egg yolks, whole milk and fatty meats. Make your own salad dressing with olive oil.
Sarah makes it practical, simple and easy to understand. She addresses the common fears, such as weight gain, effects on the gall bladder and inflammation, as well as concerns about cost. All of this is spelled out in short chapters that can be read at a soccer match or piano lesson.
A bonus is some great kid-friendly, easy-to-prepare recipes that provide lots of healthy fats and fat-soluble vitamins for your family.
Get Your Fats Straight is a great contribution to the literature on fats and oils, scientifically accurate yet geared to the layperson. It is available at Amazon as a Kindle eBook and in print both online and in major bookstores. This will make a great addition to your collection of books on diet and health. Thumbs UP."
