Twinkie, Deconstructed: My Journey to Discover How the Ingredients Found in Processed Foods Are Grown, Mined (Yes, Mined), and Manipulated Into What America Eats

This was a fun book to read – many of the chapters are short, making it suitable for reading in “the library” (coloquialism for the bathroom).

The author’s style is simple yet engaging – he’s done a lot of research into what goes into Twinkies and he’s good at describing the processing required.  Some of it is yuchy – for example, did you know that bleached flour is actually bleached with chlorine bleach?  Some of our vitamins come from bacteria grown just for that purpose.  The list goes on and on – its an impressive book and worth reading.
