Well, I must admit that this book isn't what I expected. It is indeed a bunch of statistics and studies, but somehow, somehow, I'm actually enjoying this. For those of you who've checked out my blog in the past, you may be vaguely reminded of a previous post... Anywho, I've found that all those number crunching moments are actually really intriguing (but that might just be me). Do know why soda is always just right? Not over-sweetened? Not under-sweetened? It's because soda companies for thousands upon thousands of dollars into research about the theoretical "bliss point". The "bliss point" is essentially the highest amount of sugar that a person can handle in a drink with out feeling that it is too sweet. Hmm... now I wonder why 1/3 of the US population is overweight and Type 2 Diabetes rate are on the rise... I mean it couldn't possibly be the food companies putting the *maximum* amount of sugar into drinks and KFC's being completely drenched in fat. That's just ludicrous! Well I'm off to dinner at Penn Station for an oh-so-healthy Philly Cheese steak....

I've watched a scientific video over something like that except they showed more frivolous activities being done. (orange juice that's actually apple juice) It sounds like an eyeopening book. It would be interesting if you noted some of the more interesting facts as you get into the book. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis made me hungry
ReplyDeleteI noticed that you use a lot of voice and some sarcasm in your blog, which I like because it makes the writing more entertaining. This sounds like a weirdly fascinating book that I might read if I get the chance.
