If Oprah's on board...

I was flipping through the April issue of Oprah's magazine that features a new book about industrial farming called Animal Factory by David Kirby. If you're looking for some other interesting reads, I recommend starting with the following authors:

1. Marion Nestle, author of Food Politics, What to Eat, Safe Food. She is NYU's nutrition guru as well as my inspiration for becoming a dietitian.
2. Michael Pollan, journalist and author. He's written several articles and books, including The Omnivore's Dilemma and In Defense of Food.
3. Michelle Simon, a public health lawyer and author of Appetite for Profit. She came to speak at UNC a few years ago and she's excellent.
