A Charity Sale

The charity committee in the company is organizing a charity sale within the office to collect some fund for donations to the victims from Haiti who suffered from the catastrophic Mw 7.0 magnitude earthquake in the 12th Jan 2010. The organizing committee seeks the donation of household items, clothing, toys or books from the colleagues for the charity sales. I was looking around at home to see what I can contribute for this charity sale. My aim is not to clear something I do not want but rather to share esomething which is beneficial to others. Finally I have chosen a book entitled “Foods that harm, Foods that heal – An A-Z Guide to Safe and Healthy Eating” published by Reader’s Digest couple of years ago.



I bought this book two years and have benefited much from this book since then. The book is about 400 pages with more than 150 food entries, organized from A to Z, provides the readers the lowdown on the nutritional value every food which you can name it. The benefits and the drawbacks are listed for each food in plain English for ease of understanding. Other than that, readers can also look for foods that that are beneficial for the patient and foods to be avoided for different type of diseases and medical conditions. Inside the book, there are also short paragraphs of case studies and myths which are really interesting for reading.

The food bible is invaluable and should be a collection at home for anyone who claims to be health-conscious. Rather than sitting idle in my book-shelf, I share this out so that hopefully someone else can also benefit from this book. I recommended to the organizing committee for the price tag of a minimum RM100 for this book. Let's see how it turn out to be in the charity sale.
