From optical illusions, to genes, to the environment - the surprising factors that drive what, when, and how we eat We make over 200 decisions - sometimes subconscious, often irrational - about food every day. Some of them we know we're making- what to eat, how to eat it, and many more. What we don't know is how each of those decisions is manipulated by our environment, the food industry, and our own irrational appetites. Journalist Melanie M3hl and psychologist Diana von Kopp investigate more than 40 compelling, distinct questions and issues- Why do we like the foods we like? Is it because of our environment? Family? Taste buds? (All three?) Is raw food healthier than cooked food? (No!) Why do people overeat? Keep reading, and find out! This book enables us to become more intelligent about food and how we eat, and offers insights that we'll surely remember the next time we buy groceries, sit down at a restaurant, or go into the pantry looking for a snack.

It doesn’t seem to matter how much positivity is around us, we always seem to focus on the negative. Sometimes we need to be reminded of all the good in the world. God wants more for you than to get through each day. He wants you to have the genuine happiness that can be found each and every day, even when the days seem to be filled with clouds. In Happiness: 100 Devotions to Brighten Your Day you will find the joy that God has given us each and every day. Don’t allow the negativity in the world hold onto your focus. Instead, find joy in knowing that there is a God that loves you and cares for you.
