A must read for those who eat.

This is the logical next step after you finish the Omnivore's Dillema. It is written by Salatin, the farmer with a halo on his head. He writes like an activist, and gives you concrete recommendations on how to responsibly buy your food. Sometimes you just have to pass over his political rants, but still worth reading. Written with such passion, you must forgive any faults you find in his writing.

I feel powerless to make any difference against the corrupted corporate and government agencies currently making it harder and harder to feed my family the food I want to. This book talked about ways of supporting local food and small farms, and explained how doing so is our best way of fighting the national food problems in America. I felt empowered after reading this book that my choosing to buy milk from the farm (etc.) is still making a difference even if EVERYTHING I eat isn't local, or even if I can't sent contributions to organizations to fight for my rights in Washington.
