A Twinkie a Day...

Decisions, Decisions...
Good nutrition is on all of our minds these days. Here's a few of the latest or greatest books (as in long-list or former bestsellers) for your dining and dancing pleasure:

An Apple a Day: The Myths, Misconceptions, and Truths About the Food We Eat covers many food favorites: chocolate, fruits, vegetables, milk and coffee, to name a few. Author Joe Schwarcz is a PhD chemist and self-admitted food lover.

Twinkie, Deconstructed is Steve Ettlinger's study of one popular treat... the Twinkie TM. By taking the ingredients label apart and examining each, the author makes his case for avoiding processed foods.

Cookbook author Mark Bittman carries the torch for sustainable living in his title Food Matters: a Guide to Conscious Eating. The book includes 77 recipes that create an awareness of how to choose the food we eat based on where it comes from.
