I just finished a book called Deep Nutrition--Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food by Catherine Shanahan, M.D.
Kind of a strange book in her recommendations.
It's a Paleo type diet. I didn't realize that our ancestors ate pepperoni and ice cream!! Those are some of the questionable (in my opinion) foods and cheddar cheese on her list of recommend foods...
While I agree that we need good fats in our diets and much, much fewer processed white carbs--I can't buy a lot of her diet advice in her food lists...
Sure our ancestors ate meat when they could hunt it down--but wild antelope and gazelles have something like 10% fat versus the 30% fat-- or more-- in our modern beef and pork. Big difference.
there is a book to be released next month called Final Witness, a secret service agent acct of the Kennedy assassination.
article in Vanity Fair about this book. Wow!
Currently reading "Demon Copperhead" by Barbara Kingslover for my book club. Like David Copperfield, Demon Copperhead is a child born into a life of poverty. From an early age, he is exposed to drugs, the foster system, the emerging opioid epidemic, and the often overlooked and smeared world of Appalachia — specifically Lee County, Virginia. It's my first Kingslover book and I'm thoroughly enjoying her writing style. While the life of "Demon" is horrendously difficult, it's a curiously uplifting book so far.
Just finished "Hard Tack and Coffee" by John D. Billings.
Detailed account of the average day and operations of a Northern Civil War soldier.
Many interesting details on so many aspects of how people lived then.
Next book is a book on the daily life of a Confederate.
