The Maker's Diet The Maker’s Diet is unique because it's based strongly on biblical principles that focus on a wholesome approach to eating, dieting, and health. Jordan Rubin, author of The Maker’s Diet, claims that the answer to achieving optimal health lies in “historic human nutrition.” After a nearly fatal experience with numerous digestive disorders, he has created a 40-day diet and lifestyle program based on whole foods in their natural state. Rubin has two criteria for “acceptable food”: 1. It must have been created by God.
Through Chief Bromden’s journey rediscovering himself in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey, he witnesses recurring power struggle between male and female characters, such as between Nurse Ratched and McMurphy, or between his parents. Although widely regarded as kind and benign characters in society at the time, in these conflicts, female characters are often tagged with detrimental characteristics, and therefore are depicted as demeaning antagonists. Through Chief’s biased narration, Nurse Ratched is often seen to be emasculating patients, through influencing their way of thinking, and thus their decisions to remain with the institution. She plays an essential role in confining the dynamic of the hospital through her recurring manipulation of patients. She influences, or in some cases, uses her power to force others into doing things her way.
