Books Worth Reading

1.) The End of Overeating- Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite (by David A Kessler, MD)
"A fascinating account of the science of human appetite, as well as its exploitation by the food industry. THE END OF OVEREATING is an invaluable contribution to the national conversation about the catastrophe that is the modern American diet."

2.) In Defense of Food (Michael Pollan)"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." This simply summarizes message in this wonderful book.

3.) Fast Food Nation (by Eric Schlosser)
Eric Schlosser, an award-winning journalist, opens his ambitious and ultimately devastating exposé with an introduction to the iconoclasts and high school dropouts, such as Harlan Sanders and the McDonald brothers, who first applied the principles of a factory assembly line to a commercial kitchen. Quickly, however, he moves behind the counter with the overworked and underpaid teenage workers, onto the factory farms where the potatoes and beef are grown, and into the slaughterhouses run by giant meatpacking corporations. Schlosser wants you to know why those French fries taste so good (with a visit to the world's largest flavor company) and "what really lurks between those sesame-seed buns." Eater beware: forget your concerns about cholesterol, there is--literally--feces in your meat.

4.) Skinny Bitch (by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin)
"If you can't take one more day of self-loathing, you're ready to hear the truth: You cannot keep shoveling the same crap into your mouth every day and expect to lose weight."

5.) Women Food and God (by Geneen Roth)
“No matter how developed you are in any other areas of your life, no matter what you say you believe, no matter how sophisticated or enlightened you think you are, how you eat says it all”


6.)Animal Farm (by George Orwell)Tweet
