It's true, you will never look at food the same way when you read Food, Inc. I hardly ever eat beef any more and this book, a compaion to the film of the same name, has me convinced. Now, I may not eat chicken either. Bring on the peanut butter, I guess!

This book reveals America's industrialized food system and its effect on our environment, health, economy and workers' rights. Learn about these issues and take action through the Hungry For Change cafeteria and check out the 10 Simple Tips for making positive changes in your eating habits. Learn more about these issues and how you can take action on Takepart.com.

It's being touted as the Inconvenient Truth of the food world

Janice, there is a wonderful book, written back in the early 1970's, called Hard Tomatoes, Hard Times, and since reading it, I've changed my produce buying habits a lot. And since then, it's gotten a lot worse. Farmers markets are the way to go., I think.

Pat, I couldn't agree more about farmers markets. We're fortunate to be close to some agricultural areas, including Amish Farms. I buy their produce when ever I can. I will check out that book

I have embarked on a vegetable rich diet. But, I don't think I will ever completely eliminate pork, beef or chicken. I am more focussed on eliminating fast food and reducing carbs.

Hi Janice

I try to eat healthy and watch my diet.

Good luck and success

Ryan, good for you. I don't think you have to elimnate meats, either, but you do need to be careful how they were raised, what hormones might have been injected with or how they were processes. Those are the dangers.

Lou: Sounds like you are making some great choices.
