Hi /ck/! Please recommend me good books about food.
I'll kick things off with Salt Sugar Fat which is all about processed food and the endless search for the "bliss point." I learned quite a bit about how processed food is developed and marketed. The most interesting part of the book in my opinion is when the author is invited to taste test all kinds of processed foods with key ingredients missing, for example Goldfish with no salt (which apparently is horrible). It just goes to show how carefully calibrated processed foods are and how it's difficult to create healthy alternatives while maintaining good taste and good sales. This book is like a better version of "Fast Food Nation." I'd recommend it to anyone who eats processed food (AKA all of /ck/ lol). It's also worth mentioning that the book isn't moralizing, just informational.
So how bout you? Read anything good lately?

"The Ultramind Solution" by Mark Hymann got me to really clean up my diet. You have to read it with a discerning mind as his claims on autisium are a little off.

Sometimes I feel like I need to write a book myself on habits & cleaning up ones diet. I eat cleaner than anyone I know and I get sick of all the myths or excuses people throw at me, 90% being mental.

I do suspect that having processed food, food engineered for taste, blunts your tastebuds; Rendering them unable to taste the natural flavor of real food. It was certainly true for me. It took me months before I went from mildly enjoying my diet to immensely enjoying it.

Great book! But I like to eat food without too many hallucinogens. Hunter's pantry is a little more obscure than what I'm used to...

Is this book easy to read? I remember listening to this guy's podcast and feeling a little lost.

It's really eye opening, but as with most things you have to take it with grain of salt (no pun intended). That said, it gets a little dry and repetitive towards the middle. Other than that, I highly recommend it.
