January readings

What It's Like To Be a Dog by Gregory Berns - animal neuroscience; not exactly what I expected, but not a waste of time
The Devil's Cup by Stewart Lee Allen - travel literature about coffee in history; started off with a bang, only to get really bad in the last quarter
Salt, Sugar, Fat by Michael Moss - I did not finish this one; a documentary that could well serve a lawsuit; but way too much detail for me, and sometimes repetitive

Always good to see your feedback on recent reads.

[Diana]

You always pick up such interesting titles.

[Mags]

Interesting titles and covers. Did you learn a lot?

@marlboromaam Mags, these books are stuffed with information. A lot of new information. As for how much of that information I learned from them... time will tell if anything stuck in my brain.

[Mags]

@monikozi If some of it stuck - that's good enough. =)

All of these look so fascinating I may download them on my reader! Thanks for sharing!

[Kathy A]

These all sound interesting although far too intellectual for this old brain.

[Pyrrhula]

Looks interesting - esp the salt sugar fat one

@christinav It is interesting, but I can not relate to all that business thinking details of the big food companies. It is a reality I am uncapable of comprehending. But it is shocking to see how crooked persons with decision power are, and how enslaved they are to the almighty god of money. Some say it's conspiracy theory and it is all in the mind of others. It's a good thing that we can still have our own thoughts and opinions.
It is worth the read, if you can understand and relate to that reality.

Nice 👍😊

I read Salt Sugar Fat some years ago and thought it quite good. Eye opening. The other two I have not heard of.

@monikozi there does seem to be a lot of greed in this world and the hell bent pursuit of money. I am glad I do not work in those type of industries and have to justify my place in it all. In saying that, I am not immune to the influence of money - it does make life easier and gives us choices however I guess that is not the scale of what we're talking about :)
