The judge, judged


I have often maintained that I can read anything on the subway without being much bothered by what people around me are thinking. But on that point this book is testing my mettle.

It's too bad, because first, it's extremely interesting in a Michael Pollanesque vein, weaving in a tasty mix of studies that prove what we've always known about high-sugar, high-salt and high-fat foods and those concerning what we never knew about how they influence our behavior. And second, I don't even like carrot cake, so suck on that.

Sorry Jo, the staring strangers have thrown me off my game! I'll be better tomorrow.
