Omnivore's Dilemma

I don't think this will be a page turner for most people, but for those interested in how food gets to their table it is a great read. Michael Pollan covers industrialized food, organic food both from local farms and industrialized organic, and food that is hunted or gathered. It is an eye-opening book that will make you think about what you're eating and feeding your family. I loved (well, hated actually) learning about what happens to chicken, cows, and pigs. There is also quite a lot of good information about corn. I definitely recommend this book for people who are mindful in what they eat, or want to be more and need a push.
