A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
More people than ever before see themselves as addicted to, or recovering from, addiction, whether it be alcohol or drugs, prescription meds, sex, gambling, porn, or the internet. But despite the unprecedented attention, our understanding of addiction is trapped in unfounded 20th century ideas, addiction as a crime or as brain disease, and in equally outdated treatment. Challenging both the idea of the addict's "broken brain" and the notion of a simple "addictive personality," Unbroken Brain offers a radical and groundbreaking new perspective, arguing that addictions are learning disorders and shows how seeing the condition this way can untangle our current debates over treatment, prevention and policy. Like autistic traits, addictive behaviors fall on a spectrum -- and they can be a normal response to an extreme situation. By illustrating what addiction is, and is not, the book illustrates how timing, history, family, peers, culture and chemicals come together to create both illness and recovery- and why there is no "addictive personality" or single treatment that works for all. Combining Maia Szalavitz's personal story with a distillation of more than 25 years of science and research, Unbroken Brain provides a paradigm-shifting approach to thinking about addiction.Binding Type: Paperback

Great value, does the job
Paper plates can vary widely with individual plate strength, resistance to sogginess, size and more. These are plain paper plates that we use in a plastic holder. Nothing special, but they do the job as expected.
The real selling points are the fit in my holder (these are appropriately snug suggesting size integrity) and do they hold up long enough for a meal. Thumbs up in both respects. They are standard thickness, so you can expect them to work with light loads. Plunk some heavy food on the plate and you better either double-up or use a holder like I do.
The one thing I don't like is the difficulty in separating out individual plates. Without this effort you inevitably peel out 2-4 plates at a time. (Maybe these are supposed to be double layer? Could be.)
The best reason for buying this set is the low cost per plate. We use these for every meal when it is just my wife and I and go through a lot of plates. The value for the money can not be beat.

Sturdy paper plates
I ordered "too" heavy paper plates. A paper plate is used daily to zap my bacon in folded over paper towel. I use them daily for various kitchen tasks.

Less expensive than local grocery stores
This pack of paper plates works out to be a lot less expensive than my local grocery, and unlike the grocery store, Amazon always seems to have it in stock.
These are your basic, thin paper plate. We use them with plastic paper plate holders to add support. I think it's a good deal.
