The Dorito Effect by Mark Schatzker
[Health] {#116} #BriefAudioBook - 21 July 2020
17 min read
overview
An enthusiastic argument from an award-winning journalist demonstrating that the way to reversing the health problems in America lies in the neglected connection among food and flavor: “The Dorito Effect is one of the most essential health and food books I have read” (Dr. David B. Agus, New York Times bestselling author). We are in the midst of a food crisis. Obesity has turned into the main cause of preventable mortality, only after smoking. For almost 50 years we have been trying to shift blame elsewhere — wheat, sugar, carbs, fat, high-fructose corn syrup. But that search has been futile because the nutrient problem isn’t what is killing us. But rather a behavioral issue brought about by the ever-changing flavor of the food we eat.

overview
It is a great personal finance book for people who don’t care about personal finance. Whether you’re in need of an overspending detox, buried under student debt, or just trying to figure out how to live on an entry-level salary, there never seems to be enough money. Also, most of us don’t have a plan for spending the little there is. We run our lives without budgets, our surplus money sits in bank accounts because we have no plan for investing, we do not bring our “A” games into our jobs, we regard home cooking as a hassle we should do without; and we have no clear money rules in our romantic relationships or our friendships. In “The Financial Diet”, Chelsea Fagan makes a case for frugal living as the means to attaining financial security. The book is filled with several pieces of practical advice for the young millennial woman just starting out a life and a career, but everyone stands to benefit too.
