Join 📚 Roger's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what roger's read, .
Consuming refined carbohydrates causes people to be hungrier, and crave sugar, with the result of eating more junk food. It’s not hunger from a lack of food, but from a lack of healthy, nutrient-rich food, all triggering metabolic impairments in the form of hormone imbalances and reducing the body’s ability to burn body fat for energy. The result is that we keep storing fat.
The Overfat Pandemic
Philip Maffetone
Somewhere between 15 million and 17 million men were unemployed, with most of them representing a family in want. Fortune, in September 1932, estimated that 34 million men, women, and children were without any income whatever. That was nearly 28 percent of the population, and like all other studies it omitted America’s 11 million farm families, who were suffering in a rural gethsemane of their own.
The Glory and the Dream
William Manchester
Well, I’d like my life to be like a Bruce Springsteen song. Just once. I know I’m not born to run, I know that the Seven Sisters’ Road is nothing like Thunder Road, but feelings can’t be so different, can they? I’d like to phone all those people up and say good luck, and good-bye, and then they’d feel good and I’d feel good.
