The Dorito Effect by Mark Schatzker

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.
