Read 'n' Seed 1: Exposed


  1. Exposed , Mark Schapiro
  2. The book is about how many ingredients in common American sold products have devastating health effects and may be behind a lot of the major health problems of today's society.  It also focuses on how Europe has begun banning many of these products in there country.  The book attacks the U.S. Government for not following Europe, and argues the our governments reasoning for not doing so.
  3. I think its interesting how much stuff we surround ourselves with and put into our body that we really have no idea dangerous to our health.  I would like to be more educated in that kind of stuff.
  4. Here are a couple reviews,

  5. In this book there are 189 pages and  9 Chapters.  I plan to read the first  50 pages for Quarter 1, the pages 51-100 for Quarter 2, the pages 101-145 for Quarter 3, and for the final quarter read the remaining pages 146-189.
Above I have linked the title of the book to a web page describing the book, and I have also linked the authors name to a website about his work.  I am very excited to start reading this!

See you all monday...

    1. This book sounds really interesting to me! I would also like to be more educated on this kind of stuff, my book should cover some of it too. I have been wanting to look into using more "green" products as well, its good that we have all had this boost to do so.

    2. You and Danielle are both reading books based more on food and what we are really putting into our bodies, probably a really good read! I bet you'll be shocked by what you find out! In Women's Health Issues we have a lady coming in on Tuesday to talk to us about nutrition, and specifically what women should or should not be eating! I'll have to pass on anything interesting I learn :)
