I never use this choice in the dropdown, but in this case it fits. Not since Fast Food Nation has a book affected me as much as this one. I know, I must be a glutton for punishment reading a book about local food and farming when I live in the Mojave Desert which is barely fit for human habituation. But, a girl can dream. If you care about big issues, they way food relates to politics, homeland security, global warming, the environment, corporate greed, and living simply..just read this. It is powerful.
