In today's fast-paced world, where convenience often takes precedence over nutrition, our dietary habits have undergone a profound transformation. The modern food landscape is inundated with an array of tempting treats and indulgences, beckoning us with their tantalizing flavors and irresistible allure. From decadent desserts to savory snacks, the allure of discretionary foods-commonly known as "junk food"-is undeniable. Yet, amidst the sea of convenience and indulgence, a pressing question looms large: at what cost do we indulge in these culinary delights? The term "discretionary food" encompasses a broad spectrum of items that are not essential for meeting our nutritional needs but contribute to the sensory pleasure of eating. Sweet biscuits, savory pastries, sugary drinks, and fried delicacies are just a few examples that fall within this category. While these indulgences undoubtedly add variety to our diets and enhance our enjoyment of food, they also pose significant challenges to our health and well-being. In recent years, the prevalence of discretionary food consumption has skyrocketed, accounting for a substantial portion of our dietary intake. Shockingly, over one-third of our total energy intake now derives from these discretionary items, signaling a concerning trend that warrants closer scrutiny. As our reliance on these indulgent treats continues to escalate, so too do the implications for our collective health. The consequences of excessive discretionary food consumption extend far beyond mere waistline expansion. While the immediate gratification of indulging in our favorite treats may bring temporary pleasure, the long-term repercussions are cause for concern. Research has linked habitual consumption of discretionary foods to a myriad of health issues, including obesity, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain forms of cancer. Additionally, these items are often laden with excessive amounts of sugar, unhealthy fats, and sodium, further exacerbating the risk of chronic health conditions.

Mercy review from Amazon - From the description I thought this was going to be a cliché, predictable read. Imagine my surprise when i found myself unable to stop reading! There were just the right amounts of sorrow, joy, sexiness, and suspense. Romantic without overdoing it. The sex scenes were well written. Juicy, hot, without cringy quivering members. I really enjoyed the characters. Mercy, especially, struck a chord in my soul. I can't wait to read more in this series and from this author!

Life Writing in the Anthropocene is a collection of timely and original approaches to the question of what constitutes a life, how that life is narrated, and what lives matter in autobiography studies in the Anthropocene. This era is characterised by the geoengineering impact of humans, which is shaping the planet's biophysical systems through the combustion of fossil fuels, production of carbon, unprecedented population growth, and mass extinction. These developments threaten the rights of humans and other-than-humans to just and sustainable lives.In exploring ways of representing life in the Anthropocene, this work articulates innovative literary forms such as ecobiography (the representation of a human subject's entwinement with their environment), phytography (writing the lives of plants), and ethological poetics (the study of nonhuman poetic forms), providing scholars and writers with innovative tools to think and write about our strange new world. In particular, its recognition on plant life reminds us of how human lives are entwined with vegetal lives. The creative and critical essays in this book, shaped by a number of Antipodean authors, bear witness to a multitude of lives and deaths.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of a/b: Auto/Biography Studies.

This book analyses policy and programming challenges in gender mainstreaming in counter-terrorism policy, with examples from comparative case studies.
