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?!?!

  • Oh yeah, I have watched The Future of Food a few months ago, but I think I'll re-watch it now that I know so much more.  I was thinking of doing Animal Vegetable Miracle next.  I checked my library but it's checked out until June! :(

  • 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!

  • My bff loved Animal, Vegetable, Mineral and it was her most recent rec for me.  I got it from the library and have started it, I like it so far.
  • Thank you so much  for recommending Fresh! I found a screening right nearby on May 21st. I'm so excited to see it!  I also ordered Animal, Vegetable, Miracle from Amazon-- I'll be sure to pass it on to someone else when I'm done. :)
