What should I read/watch next?
Ok, so I just finished the Omnivore's Dilemma (loved it). I've read In Defense of Food and Fast Food Nation. I've watched Food Inc., and King Corn. Where should I go next?!?!
Cycles 1-18 = a bust
DX= unexplained infertility
Cycle 19-20 On BCP, shutting down the ovaries
Cycle 21- monitored Gonal-f injections + HCG trigger = BFN
Cycle 22- 3 weeks of BCP + Gonal-f + HCG trigger = BFN
Cycle 23- 3 weeks of BCP + Gonal-f + HCG trigger - BFP!

I really enjoyed Animal Vegetable Miracle. Although, there wasn't any new information in there for me. I had also read Omnivore's Dilemma and Fast Food Nation beforehand.
I also recommend Bottomfeeder, for a great informative read on seafood.
If you can get ahold of it, you should watch the movie Fresh. It's similar to Food Inc., but much more empowering as a call to action. As a farmer myself, I found it was very positive about the role that small farmers can have in changing the food system.
I don't think the makers of Fresh had as big of a marketing budget as Food, Inc., so the movie is a little harder to find. But it's sooo good!
