I just finished the 169 pages of an entertaining and thought provoking book written by John Davis of North Alabama. "A linguist, former combat arms and counterintelligence officer, he is an observer of the world." Consisting of 66 independent, short reads, Rainy Street Stories takes one to the places John has been and the people he has encountered.

From the middle east to Germany to Poland to Gettysburg to...

I've just begun reading this book. From what I have read it is an analysis of the American Food Industry and its use of salt, sugar, and fat in the processed foods it produces. The book also looks at the effect these three things have on obesity, heart disease, and other maladies.

Has anyone read this book? I feel the author has explained his notions well from what I have read so far.

I'm interested in other opinions about this book.



Also, I'm not sure I have posted in the...

Mind boggling, in fact, for this one.

The first time around there was the dazzling name-dropping, the insider gossip, and what is boring background for someone not that interested in the inside game of politics.

But, now, the second time through, WOW!
