A look at where our food comes from. The industrial feedlot, the small local farm, hunting and gathering. Just reinforces that you should buy from the little guy because it's more sustainable. Whole section on corn and our dependence on it and how it‘s not natural. Very good reader -- MacLeod Andrews.
