Description

In The Dorito Effect, Mark Schatzker shows us how our approach to the nation's number-one public health crisis has gotten it wrong. The epidemics of obesity, heart disease, and diabetes are not tied to the overabundance of fat or carbs. Instead we have been led astray by the growing divide between flavor - the tastes we crave - and the underlying nutrition.

Since the late 1940s, we have been slowly leeching flavor out of the food we grow. Simultaneously we have taken great leaps forward in technology, allowing us to produce in the lab the very flavors that are being lost on the farm. Thanks to this largely invisible epidemic, seemingly healthy food is becoming more like junk food: highly craveable but nutritionally empty. We have unknowingly interfered with an ancient chemical language - flavor - that evolved to guide our nutrition, not destroy it.

great info but full of unnessary fat shaming

great info but full of unnessary fat shaming. i was really put off by all the negative depictions of fat people, especially since the thesis of this book is that the problem is flavour and individuals are set up to fail.

Super interesting history of flavour

I love books that give insight on aspects of history and science that we don’t generally pay much attention to. The narration is engaging, the examples shared are interesting and compelling, and I will probably listen again to absorb more. Not a book I could listen to for more than an hour at a time because there’s a lot to take in, but I thoroughly enjoyed it!

makes ya think before you consume

I have had many opportunities to share bits and pieces of this book with many friends these past several weeks as I was so pleased with the informative sequence of stories to come to the conclusion of just how impure our food has become over the years.
It is my hope that one day someone sees the value of this book and makes it into a documentary if nothing else.
I highly recommend this book if one is curious about just how our food has declined in both value and quality for the almighty dollar.
The narrator was incredibly easy to listen to.

Excellent listen

I learned so much about why and how our food is bland and we don’t even know it. Sad state of affairs. Hopefully we can turn the food industry around by prioritizing flavour over cheap quantities. This book changed the way I grocery shop and cook.

In the shadow of Salt, Sugar, Fat by Michael Moss

The Dorito Effect is very similar to the book Salt, Sugar Fat by Michael Moss. Schatzker seems to know this and tries to differentiate it by arguing that pointing to just Salt Sugar and Fat is too simplistic. He argues that thousands of flavour chemicals can also be blamed for the modern obesity epidemic and this is really the highlight of the book. The other main theme of the book is that fresh produce has drastically lost flavour and nutrition over the last 70 years. While this sounds completely plausible to me, the evidence he offers is surprisingly scant. His strongest evidence that chicken has lost flavour is a sentence in a Julia Child cookbook. As far as depleted nutrition, he offers up just one study where he admits the results where mixed. Also his tone towards the food industry is gratingly cynical which gives the impression that his assertions are motivated more by contempt than by logic. All in all the book is simply takes second place to Salt, Sugar, Fat by Michael Moss which basically argues the same thing but better.

Eat dark chocolate & drink wine

Anybody whose parting advice is, "Eat dark chocolate & drink wine," has information I want. The author takes our modern society's problem with obesity to a whole new level. Flavor is a key. The reader was easy to listen to & the information was life changing.

I Had No Idea!

I heard about this book on an Underground Wellness podcast. The author interviewed well and peaked my interest. Glad I purchased it. There's lot's of information in this book, regarding how our food has changed. To my surprise, this has been going on longer than I thought!The narrator was good, and didn't put me to sleep. I've listened to this twice and have placed several bookmarks.

Thought Provoking

The idea that the same "palletizers" used to make live stock gain weight as fast as possible are common in processed human food rocked my world. Likewise, the notion that this is necessary because crops and live stock have been breed to maximize yield and appearance while flavor has been left out of the equation. It's a whole new piece of the epidemic obesity puzzle.

Thought provoking

The title of the book makes sense after reading the book, but I wouldn't have read this book if I hadn't heard a very positive review of it. I don't eat processed food - I cook from scratch - I thought the book would be irrelevant to me. But the issues raised are bigger than just our personal choices (though there is plenty of information to consider there too. It was an interesting mix of history and current research along with cultural musings. I recommend it.

Diluted Food

Our food is diluted. That's why I love this time of year when my garden yields undiluted vegetables that are so full of flavour that all I add is butter or a tiny bit of salt. Tomatoes that are taste sensations! Really delicious potatoes, corn, cucumbers, etc This flavour is missing in action in our supermarkets and I want it found. The time has come and it is not hard to do. If that's what the consumer wants and demands the market will provide it. Read this book and find out how we are duped.

Important and surprisingly hopeful book

What made the experience of listening to The Dorito Effect the most enjoyable?

To me, the genius of this book is Mark's ability to tell his horrifying tale of the state of food and flavor this country without coming off as an alarmist. It would be really easy to write this story with an accusatory tone, but Mark documents the history of how food production has changed over the last 40 years, without demonizing anyone in particular. And for that reason, I hope it will be less likely to be dismissed because I think what he is saying makes a lot of sense, and if people pay attention, it will make an enormous difference in the lives of millions of Americans. Maybe it is cynical, but the hopeful part to me, is that there is money to be made in making food more nutritious, and money is what makes things change. I'm now voting for change with every dollar of food money that I spend.

good but...

This is a "decent book". it's "okay" .... "pretty good" not "great". The narrator gets irritating after a while. I turned the speed up to 1.5× to mask his voice.

It is chock full of knowledge and a great listen

My first thought was not even about The Dorito Effect, but about the narrator. I did not look prior to getting this book so I was pleasantly surprised to hear Chris Patton! I listened to his Yesterday's Gone narration and simply loved it. His voice definitely jumps out of the headphones so I was even more excited to listen to this book.

If you enjoy non-fiction and are curious about what the dorito effect entails, be prepared for a no holds barred look at what America puts into their food. It is disgusting. Or would be if we didn't crave these yummy materials so much. There is so much in this that I could talk about but one thing that really caught me off guard was "Natural Flavors". The author describes natural flavors as flavors that are actually not natural at all.

It's funny because I have been curious about what in the world they are for quite some time now. It saddens me to find out that they are these synthetic flavors that spice companies just come up with to make our taste buds crave more! With all the substances that we have to look for, you would think that this is probably the least harmful but it does not seem so. Sadly, during my last grocery shopping trip, I noticed that nearly everything has natural flavors. Thankfully there is a new health trend so there are some things that are natural and only have the few things that make up that ingredient. But these are few and far between!

The book continues to give insight about what we eat and why we still crave it even after knowing what it is. The author even talks about McDonald's and although he knows it is horrible, he eats there still! I have to admit to their fries being awesome. Once again, the taste of the food, not the substance, is what our brains think we want! And it is so hard to fight against.

Back to Chris Patton. It is interesting how he narrates. He has such a chipper, upbeat voice, that listening to the idea that companies are blatantly adding in crap to our food and making us obese, does not sound so horrifying! There are moments when he gets a bit more somber, however, for the most part he is his cheerful self. I think this book needs that bit of levity. Otherwise, the reader will wind up spiraling into a depression. There is a lot of depressing moments in this so his lending the cheerful voice helped a lot. The audio was perfect and very well done.

There is so much information in here that you may want to get the print version just to be able to highlight and write notes! I'm going to have to listen to this at least once more. It is chock full of knowledge and a great read.
