Daily Thoughts 10/26/2015

I checked the Twitter and Facebook for the library.

I finished reading the Waste Free Kitchen Handbook A Guide to Eating Well and Saving Money by Wasting Less Food by Dana Gunders.  Dana Gunders is a staff scientist for the Natural Resources Defense Council.  One of the reasons she is writing this book is that Americans waste 40% of their food.

The last part was kind of interesting.  There were sections on what leftovers you could feed your dog, cat, or chicken as well as descriptions of food safety, how to store different types of food, and composting.  The book includes notes and an index.  This book would be of interest to someone who wants to lead a frugal lifestyle or save money.

I started reading Good Profit How Creating Value for Others Built One of the World's Most Successful Companies by Charles G. Koch.  This is a conservative book.  The author is very concerned with low taxes and freedom.  He also praises Ludwig Von Mises who is very important to conservative economic theory.  One of the tenets in business which he supports is that there is no business without a customer.
