Real Food/Fake Food: Why You Don't Know What You're… Tekijä: Larry Olmsted

I did a quick review of this book. Olmsted covers fish, beef, olive oil, cheese, wines, and other food with high prices (usually) and high risk of fakery. It really is a very good book. The one thing I am taking from it now is to switch to honey purchased at a local farmers’ market.

Real Food/Fake Food: Why You Don’t Know What You’re… Tekijä: Larry Olmsted

This is one depressing book. Larry Olmsted proceeds to rip open the curtain and show us readers that the food that we love is about as real as the great wizard of Oz. He takes us a stroll through real cheese and wine makers ... and through the fake world of "kobe beef", "champagne", "olive oil", "parmesan", and "sushi".

This book makes me want to stop eating, especially out at restaurants.

Fans: How Watching Sports Makes Us Happier,… Tekijä: Larry Olmsted

If you love sports as much as I do (I'm especially a fan of baseball, hockey, and swimming), you'll probably love this book. It's interesting and well-written and delves into just about any sports and personal relationship" or "sports and societal relationship" that you can think of.

In fact, there are probably plenty you'd never really thought about, such as how sports help fans heal after a calamity, like a shooting or terrorist act (see Vegas and NYC). Or the role sports plays in the "Make a Wish Program." Or even the role of fantasy baseball or fantasy football.

Very informative and, as an added measure, it alerted me to other "sports and society" type books.

Highly recommended!!
