Food, Inc: How Industrial Food is Making Us Sicker, Fatter, and Poorer- And What We Can Do About It– edited by Karl Weber
Not too long ago I reviewed the documentary Food, Inc.

Highlights include chapters by Michael Pollan (Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense of Food), Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation and film co-producer), as well as a chapter by Robert Kenner, the film’s director. Suffice it to say, anyone who’s remotely concerned/interested about the food we put down our pie holes on a daily basis should read this book.
The Importance of Probiotics– Brian St. Pierre
