Serendipitous.... I had this on hold at the library. Can't remember why. I just read Michal Pollan's In Defense of Food, which I loved, and he wrote the introduction to this book.

readers of the Omnivore's Dillema
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.

Salatin really draws you in with his personal stories and educated perspective on farming. He is extremely passionate about the need for each of us to become local food consumers and makes an educated case for why would should all care as much as he does.

This guy is a wacko but right on about the food and farming part (just don't mind that he's a Christian Libertarian anti-abortionist who doesn't believe in global warming...)
