Michael Pollan, the bestselling author of The Omnivore's Dilemma, Food Rules, and How to Change Your Mind, explores the previously uncharted territory of his own kitchen in Cooked. Now a docu-series streaming on Netflix, starring Pollan as he explores how cooking transforms food and shapes our world. Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney exectuve produces the four-part series based on Pollan's book, and each episode will focus on a different natural element: fire, water, air, and earth. In Cooked, Pollan discovers the enduring power of the four classical elements--fire, water, air, and earth--to transform the stuff of nature into delicious things to eat and drink. Apprenticing himself to a succession of culinary masters, Pollan learns how to grill with fire, cook with liquid, bake bread, and ferment everything from cheese to beer. Each section of Cooked tracks Pollan's effort to master a single classic recipe using one of the four elements. A North Carolina barbecue pit master tutors him in the primal magic of fire; a Chez Panisse-trained cook schools him in the art of braising; a celebrated baker teaches him how air transforms grain and water into a fragrant loaf of bread; and finally, several mad-genius "fermentos" (a tribe that includes brewers, cheese makers, and all kinds of picklers) reveal how fungi and bacteria can perform the most amazing alchemies of all. The reader learns alongside Pollan, but the lessons move beyond the practical to become an investigation of how cooking involves us in a web of social and ecological relationships. Cooking, above all, connects us. The effects of not cooking are similarly far reaching. Relying upon corporations to process our food means we consume large quantities of fat, sugar, and salt; disrupt an essential link to the natural world; and weaken our relationships with family and friends. In fact, Cooked argues, taking back control of cooking may be the single most important step anyone can take to help make the American food system healthier and more sustainable. Reclaiming cooking as an act of enjoyment and self-reliance, learning to perform the magic of these everyday transformations, opens the door to a more nourishing life.Binding Type: Paperback

Works well
Size: 2.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I weigh 256 lbs. I have a lot of crevices that overlap each other. I also run 2-3 miles 3 times a week and about 5-6 miles on Saturdays. My Saturday miles will continue to increase. All that to say my original deodorant didn't do much to stave off my body odor. It also wasn't an all over deodorant. I'm always so stinky after my runs. I got this deodorant on a Friday so I used it for my Saturday long run. It was also very hot out that day. The high was 103° and it was almost 90° by 9:30 am. I ran and I sweat profusely. I got home after my 4.5 mile run and I obviously had a little body odor but it wasn't so bad. My daughter said at worst I just smell like I've been outside for a long time but it wasn't horrible like usual. That same day I showered and reapplied the deodorant, and went on a 2 mile walk in 100°. Today was a 2.5 mile run and I don't smell myself like usual. I feel comfortable not showering since I have a workout at lunch time as well. It also doesn't break me out like most deodorants do because there's no aluminum which is a big deal for me because when I get rashes from wearing aluminum deodorant I can't wear deodorant until it's gone and no one wants that. Anyhoo it's an easy application. Just squirt a little on two fingers and apply to your pits and crevices. It's got the texture and consistency of lotion. It keeps me smelling decent after sweating. I know someone said theirs had a sour milk smell and I think that probably has more to do with their body odor composition and less about the deodorant.

Deo
Size: 2.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Works well! Helps with odor. Has the classic strange body deo scent sort of like Lume, so if you don't like that this product probably won't be for you. The actual scent of rose and raspberry is nice!

Good product
Size: 2.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I like this. Only need a small amount. I first tried Lume, but that smells like vomit. This smells so much better and lasts well. I will buy again. I use under b00bies and between legs for chafing. It helps.
