When I first started doing my toxics work—more than 30 years ago—one of the only authors writing about things natural was Beatrice Trum Hunter.
She was the author of the first natural foods cookbook in the United States and has published more than 30 books on food, the environment, toxins, and nutrition. Her most recent book, Our Toxic Legacy: How Lead, Mercury, Arsenic, and Cadmium Harm Us, was published in 2011, when she was 93. She provided Rachel Carson with research and sources that helped her to write Silent Spring. And she updated a chapter in Adelle Davis’s Let’s Eat Right to Keep Fit book.
She is now 96 years old, still teaches nutrition classes, and lives alone at the end of a gravel road in a small town in New Hampshire.
What a testament to natural living!
Thank you Beatrice, for all you have done to make the world less toxic.
