But her booklets, which include recipes, are enough to get people started. She says the African American diet is heavily laden with fat and grease because the slaves were historically given only table scraps by their masters." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Since the 1990s Orman has been a highly successful investment adviser and a best-selling author, with books like The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom (1997) and The Courage to Be Rich: Creating a Life of Material and Spiritual Abundance (1999) and, after 2002, following the peak of the stock market, with her own cable tv show, The Suze Orman Show.

"With each new disorder came a new market of potential antidepressant users: uptight Americans, melancholy Americans, weight-obsessed Americans, shy and lonely Americans sitting at home on the couch, watching cable tv ... As long as the SSRIs were being prescribed for serious depression, their benefits clearly outweighed the risks. But nobody seriously believes that SSRIs are prescribed only or even largely for serious depression anymore."36 As Edward Shorter has argued, the threshold of what constitutes a psychiatric illness has been dramatically lowered." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"Two integral aspects of TRUCE are the student-run production The Real Deal, a cable tv program featuring arts and entertainment by the kids in the program, and the publication of their own newspaper, Harlem Overheard. One of the growing afflictions of inner cities everywhere is respiratory illness. The American Health Association reports that asthma plagues more children in low-income urban areas than it does anywhere else —mostly because city pollution is compounded by smokestacks and other sources of industrial pollution, which are often concentrated in these neighborhoods." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) "Dur wireless Internet connections go to cable modems, running over incredibly expensive buried copper wires laid to carry yesterday's big thing, cable tv. The houses that contain us and our trusty laptops represent another couple of hundred thousand dollars worth of capital, and rely extensively on the availability of lumber, shingles, and glass—and on centuries of architectural refinement. This is modernity: a pile of capital, of sunk costs, running into the quadrillions of dollars. It takes this much capital to provide average Americans or Europeans with their average lifestyles." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) "DIY culture has given rise to a number of popular publications, an entire cable tv network, and thousands of blogs and Web sites. With each experiment yielding a different result, and plenty of media outlets for sharing experiences, the wealth of resources has become a self-sustaining treasure chest growing at an exponential rate. sr DIY Culture Do-it-yourselfers do not see limits, they see sprawling potential, order drawn from chaos, hope. Outside of mainstream culture, many think this way out of necessity." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"That might mean eliminating unwatched cable tv channels, making coffee at home rather than going to Starbucks, or reading a library book instead of renting a DVD—and more than likely, a whole lot more. The new reality will force Americans to pay close attention to what they need and what is truly important in an economic sense and, perhaps, a spiritual sense. Money woes will invariably invite a host of other difficulties, including stress and conflict, suffering and sadness, and depression and illness." - Michael J. Panzner, Financial Armageddon: Protecting Your Future from Four Impending Catastrophes (Get the book.)

"The Impact of Cable Before the 1980s, regulatory concerns hampered the widespread adoption of cable tv in America. But in 1984 Congress passed the Cable Communications Policy Act, which lifted most federal regulatory restraints from the cable industry, with the exception of "must-carry" provisions that required cable operators to have local stations on their systems. Cable service soon expanded rapidly. In 1978 only 17 percent of American households had cable; by 1989 cable penetration had reached 57 percent." - The New York Times, The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge: A Desk Reference for the Curious Mind (Get the book.)

"I enjoyed central heating, air conditioning, cheap air fares, cable tv, advanced orthopedic surgery, and computers. It would be churlish for me now to complain about any future hardship. I was less than entirely thrilled by what my culture managed to make of all the advantages conferred by cheap oil, and I made a career of criticizing our behavior in books. I didn't get rich but I supported myself without having to suck up to any boss. I was free and unfettered, and I was grateful to be here at all. Thirty years ago as a young newspaper reporter, I went through the OPEC oil embargo." - James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.) "At their worst, the rap videos played on cable tv resemble the war chants of a conflict that has not yet been joined. Only among a group as narcissistically lost and clueless as white suburban America would these messages be welcomed as just another species of entertainment. In the disorders of the Long Emergency, when the poor become really poor by world standards, the urban ghettos may explode again, and the next time it happens it will be in the context of a much more desperate society than the one that witnessed the 1992 Rodney King incident and its aftermath." - James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.)
