Extra, extra, read all about it!

Dear Reader,

I write as a recently educated individual on the terrible nature of our food industry and an advocate of eating locally. However, I want to be even more educated and an even greater advocate. I would be interested to know what books/articles are out there that people like myself are reading. What first got me interested in the issue was Friedman's The World Is Flat. Then I read The Omnivores Dilemma by Micheal Pollan. John Bowe's Nobodies is also a good read related to farming (and other industries) and modern day slavery here in America. Various New York Times articles are also good places to start in order to gain an understanding of the system and lifestyle. I know there are other great books out there and would love to hear what you are reading to educate yourself about farming and eating well. Learning what you the individual can do is extremely important to me, and having a website like SCFV is so very important. Thanks for all you do! I'm excited to see what's to come--for the site, for our state, for our nation...
