Jonathan Mejia slub — Consider the Twinkie... A popular food item, first introduced to the public in the 1930's, which now represents a vast example of how ingredients have changed over the years to meet consumer demand. Honestly, I'd never really thought about it before... that long list of hard-to-pronounce chemicals on the packages of my snack cakes never bothered me. But reading this book not only opened my eyes to what, exactly goes into this innocent-seeming treat, but also how incredibly complex and vast and intricate the entire food industry in America IS. It's shocking to find out how much of our food additives come from products that were once thought to be useless by-products of steel manufacturing. And oil. SO much stuff comes from oil!! Food stuff, concrete, plastic (of course), stuff that goes into our shampoo and soap and toothpaste... it's amazing to discover the origins of all of these things, the intricate web of relationships between manufacturing and food products. I know people who won't eat Twinkies because "they're made from nothing but chemicals" but honestly, MOST of the food we buy and eat contain quite a few of these same chemicals... it just goes to show that many consumers don't REALLY know what they're eating anymore. I mean, if something you wanted to eat had an ingredients list like this: hydrogen oxide, cellulose, hemicellulose, malic acid, dexrose, fructose, pectin, sucrose, amylacetate, and citric acid... would you eat it? No? Not natural enough for you? Not healthy? Do you realize the above is the ingredients list for an apple? Anyway, the point of this book was certainly not to tell everyone that Twinkies are just as healthy and natural as apples; it's true purpose was simply to explore WHERE these chemicals that are contained in most food items on our shelves today come from, how they are made, and what it means in terms of the advancement of making better, tastier foods with longer shelf lives. It's astounding how much goes into something as innocuous-seeming as a Twinkie. I'm glad I read this book; it was well-written and informative and even funny at times. I'd love to see it made into a Discovery-Channel-like documentary.

Sanaa Sayed sunshine05 — This book does a wonderful job of approaching sexual lust as not only a huge problem, but that of an even bigger problem: our rebellious heart that lusts after sin instead of God. The issue of sexual lust is an issue of holiness and whether or not one is growing in it. This book is written for both girls and guys, and it does a wonderful job of showing the similarities and differences in lustful struggles. I highly recommend this book for anyone to read. There are many challenging statements that are made that really make you do some self-analysis and there are many statements that bring you to the Savior's cross in appreciation for taking your lustful sin upon his own body. I copied and pasted the table of contents: Part One: The Truth About Lust 1. Not Even a Hint: Why can't I seem to beat lust? 2. Sex is Not the Problem: Is it biology or is it a sin? 3. You Can't Save Yourself: Where can I find the power to change? Part Two: In the Thick of the Battle 4. A Custom-Tailored Plan: Where am I weakest and what can I do? 5. Guys and Girls: How are we different, and how can we help each other? 6. Self-Centered Sex: How do I deal with masturbation? 7. Half a Poison Pill Won't Kill You: How do I cope with the temptations of media? Part Three: Strategies for Long-Term Change 8. Lone Rangers Are Dead Rangers: Why is accountability so important? 9. The Power of a Promise: How can truth help me defeat the lies? 10. Holiness is a Harvest: How can I sow to the Spirit?
