<a href='http://www.chowntown.com/slow-food-real-food/foodinc/' title='foodinc'><img width="108" height="150" src="http://www.chowntown.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/foodinc-108x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="foodinc" title="foodinc" /></a>
<a href='http://www.chowntown.com/slow-food-real-food/omnivore/' title='omnivore'><img width="105" height="150" src="http://www.chowntown.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/omnivore-105x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="omnivore" title="omnivore" /></a>
<a href='http://www.chowntown.com/slow-food-real-food/defenseoffood/' title='defenseoffood'><img width="106" height="150" src="http://www.chowntown.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/defenseoffood-106x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail" alt="defenseoffood" title="defenseoffood" /></a>

<p>I just finished reading &#8220;The Omnivore&#8217;s Dilemma&#8221; by Michael Pollan (thanks to Jennifer Vuillemot for lending it to me!).   Before finishing this book, I also read his other book &#8220;In Defense of Food&#8221; and watched a documentary that he&#8217;s featured in called &#8220;Food Inc.&#8221;.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re concerned about the food you&#8217;re eating, how its produced, how the animals are treated and how the land is used, these three are must read/views.   If you&#8217;re a farmer, an animal rights activist, vegetarian, an environmentalist, a worker for a factory farm or slaughterhouse, or just a regular person, these books and documentary will speak to you.</p>
<p>None of these are extremist propaganda in case you&#8217;re worried.  You&#8217;ll come away with the tools you need to make informed choices about the food you eat&#8230;and to support the producers you trust and respect.</p>
