I no longer buy meat at the grocery store.  Let that be your warning.  This non-fiction book about food and where it comes from may change your life.  The first chapter is called “Industrial Food” which is basically the non-organic, often processed, food in our grocery stores.  What got me was the description of where our meat comes from.  Specifically the description of the cattle that live in concentrated animal feeding operations (known in the industry as CAFOs).  Imagine this: cattle crammed together in an indoor pen such that they can hardly move.  They eat (industrial corn), drink (liquid fat), and poop, all while standing shoulder to shoulder in this indoor warehouse (where consumers cannot see what goes on).  Because their bodies are bred to eat grass, not corn, and to drink water, not liquid fat, they get sick.  The solution?  Inject them with a cocktail of antibiotics so that they live just long enough to be slaughtered.  But that happens only after they’ve also ingested enough growth hormones to get fat as quickly as possible.  Then, they end up neatly packaged in the grocery store and become Friday’s dinner. Yuck. (non-fiction)
