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.

Histoire
Mistakes to Run With chronicles the turbulent life of Yasuko Thanh, from early childhood in the closest thing Victoria, BC, has to a slum, to teen years as a sex worker and, finally, to her emergence as an award-winning author. As a child, Thanh embraced evangelical religion, only to rebel against it and her rigid parents, cutting herself, smoking, and shoplifting. At 15, the honour-roll runaway develops a taste for drugs and alcohol. After a stint in jail at 16, feeling utterly abandoned by her family, school, and society, Thanh meets the man who would become her pimp....

Histoire
In our unique genomes, every one of us carries the story of our species - births, deaths, disease, war, famine, migration, and a lot of sex. But those stories have always been locked away - until now. Who are our ancestors? Where did they come from? Geneticists have suddenly become historians, and the hard evidence in our DNA has completely upended what we thought we knew about ourselves. Acclaimed science writer Adam Rutherford explains exactly how genomics is completely rewriting the human story - from 100,000 years ago to the present.

Description
In Zero Waste Home, Bea Johnson shares the story of how she simplified her life by reducing her waste. Today, Bea, her husband, Scott, and their two young sons produce just one quart of garbage a year, and their overall quality of life has changed for the better. They now have more time together, they've cut their annual spending by a remarkable 40 percent, and they are healthier than they've ever been.
This book shares essential how-to advice, secrets, and insights based on Bea's experience. She demystifies the process of going Zero Waste with hundreds of easy tips for sustainable living that even the busiest people can integrate: from making your own mustard, to packing kids' lunches without plastic, to canceling your junk mail, to enjoying the holidays without the guilt associated with overconsumption. Zero Waste Home is a stylish and relatable step-by-step guide that will give you the practical tools to help you improve your health, save money and time, and achieve a brighter future for your family - and the planet.

Some good ideas some not.
Some great ideas for cutting waste, but recommending i get rid of things and replace them with more sustainable goods? Why would you not wear out items you already own. Manufacturing has its own footprint. Use what you have! Replace as needed with more waste free alternatives. Future purchases given more thought, but use what you already have first.

Another book I'm going to have to buy in hard copy.
I think some of her changes are a little extreme, and frankly the opposite of simplifying anything, but I've been working towards reducing my negative environmental impact for a while and I know there's more I can do. It's difficult living in a condo without outdoor space, and not being rich like the author's family, but there are lots of good tips here.

Practical and unconventional. Not superficial.
Didn't particularly grip me at start but as it progressed and started to get down into practical suggestions, how-to's and very relatable situations, it got much more interesting to my pleasant surprise. I'm glad it wasn't overly superficial. I've bookmarked several sections and I'll certainly be referencing back to these areas in future. I'm very happy to have read this book.

Okay, but not as an audiobook
I didn’t the middle of this book, decent content with only slight “judging” from the author. It was a little hard to start however, as this book is mostly lists. Sounds like there is supposed to be a picture or two to go along with some descriptions, but being an audiobook you can’t see the pictures.
An hour left of the book and I couldn’t finish anymore thanks to the narrator’s voice. I might recommend the book, but won’t recommend it as an audiobook.

Informative, and Important for All Ages!
This audio book was fantastic! I have always had a place in my heart for the environment and simple living, but grew up in a home where buying was #1. It felt wrong and I felt off every time a new thing was brought into the home. When I got married and left home, I felt as though that weight was lifted!
My husband is not as diligent as myself with things such as composting for example, however he agrees there is no since in buying poor quality items, or items we don't need.
Thank you for all of the knowledge, and thorough explanations on this topic!

I loved all the tips she shared! It was all very helpful and informative and encouraging to get started on my zero waste journey. However, it was difficult to stay focused because I wanted to see the many lists she had. I will buy the physical book so I can have all the recipes and ideas at my fingertips, then pass along to a friend.

One of the best books Ive ever read/listened to...
I almost want to listen to it again. Loved the narrator. It starts a tad rough, I wasnt sure I was going to like her. But I enjoyed her full pronunciation of words and clear speech. This book goes beyond others on this topic. The author talks about things that didnt work, the hardships of living zero waste, and the emotions she feels now. I enjoyed the recipes. And above all, the lesson shopping is voting will stay with me for a very long time.

Good Stop Gap Arts at the Home Level
The book went from the general to the specific. I was into the general. The author is honest, and admitted whenever a certain measure, though it sounded good, became impractical.
I said 'stop gap' because these measures will be useful until mass production is zero waste (and mass production in advanced societies is needed, which will relegate the knowledge in this book to the 'arts' - not necessary, but optional, yet arts that should be more widely known, since they will apply again in the Microcosm Age (a distant future).
Lacking is higher life guidance (for example, assume you achieve zero waste, then what? Dance around the Maypole?). See the Philosophy of Broader Survival for that higher life guidance, and you will have a better (broader) perspective on why you should bother to do anything at all.

absolutely rocked my world!
seeking to sort out my confusion about recycling, this was everything I could want in a a practical manual to creating better world, life, and more. Bea"s genius vision of a zero waste world is something I want to live in and help make happen. what a relief to not get hit over the head with the same sad turtle story paired with a lecture on bags and straws. we know! it's depressing and defeating! instead bea proposes empowering solutions that benefit your mental and physical health, lifestyle, and wallet. she also manages to make it glamorous and cool with her french fashion designer background. finally someone with some (easy, affordable) solutions you can implement right now that doesn't involve spending a fortune on a ton of new "green" products.
my few complaints: this book desperately needs a pdf attachment. I know the irony of printable pdf with a zero waste book but obviously for reference and not to print. there are way too many recipes and how-to's that would be better off as blogs.
was there a resources web page she mentioned somewhere I missed?
also the sloppy cover art, title, and marketing is unworthy of the brilliant ideas inside.
