The Day Roti Died
What Roti Really Meant Before Wheat Took OverBy Ravi SandhuLength2h 24m
About this audiobook
Ask most people what "roti" means, and they'll say unleavened bread. They're wrong — and that mistake explains more about your health than you might think.
The Day Roti Died traces how a word that once meant nothing more than "the bare minimum food to survive" quietly narrowed, over centuries, into a single grass: wheat. Using the same framework that explains why telegraphs became smartphones and empires rise and fall, Ravi Sandhu shows how wheat climbed from an occasional seasonal crop to an all-day, every-day staple — and why your body, still running on much older evolutionary code, never signed up for that change.
Part modernisation theory, part personal reckoning with a career-ending university dissertation and a teenage supermarket job that changed how he saw food forever, this book asks you to question something you've never thought to question: the food on your own plate. No fad diets. No carnivore dogma. Just a clearer way to see what "food" was always meant to mean.
