I just wanted to rave about a book I just read -- "The Way We Eat: Why Our Food Choices Matter" by Peter Singer and Jim Mason. This is the most complete book on food issues I've ever read. The book follows three families with 3 different eating styles: Standard American Diet, Conscientious Omnivores, and Vegans and traces back their food choices to the source. But that 's not all there is to the book. This book also covers:

• Fair Trade and Workers' Rights in the food industry
• Eating locally or not
• Slow food
• Dumpster Diving for food
• Organic food vs. conventional
• GMOs

There's even a humorous bit in the book where one of the authors gets a job as a turkey artificial inseminator and lasts . . .one day.
