Why Industrial Food is Good and How to Make It Even Better

By Jan Dutkiewicz and Gabriel N. Rosenberg

The answers to all our problems are right here in this book. We could easily help the environment, the workers, and the whole society's health by changing the way we look at the industrialized food system and agriculture. If only we had the political will. It's called Democratic Hedonism. We should all enjoy our food and have it nutritious and affordable too. Main takes: SNAP and universal school lunches are a great way to get a lot of people to eat nutritious food. Improve the processed food through regulation and investment. Reduce meat production and consumption by focusing on plant-based and cellular innovations. Allow workers in agriculture and food system fair wages and safe working conditions.

The New Perimenopause

By Mary Claire Haver, MD

So many important things discussed here. Should be a starting point for every woman, even if she's not at that stage yet or anymore, and also men who have any sort of close relationship to a woman who is going through that stage of her life. Due to obvious proselytizing, I think other writings should be considered as well, and research of some primary sources. But I'm glad this book and the author's works are changing the landscape of women's health for the better. [non-fiction, 347pp., including appendices, references, and index]
