The documentary, Food Inc. has been out for a few weeks. But readers should know that there’s a companion book to the movie. Published last month by New York’s best publishing house, PublicAffairs, the book includes my essay “The Ethanol Scam: Burning Food to Make Motor Fuel.”

The book, Food Inc.: A Participant Guide: How Industrial Food is Making Us Sicker, Fatter, and Poorer-And What You Can Do About It, contains excellent essays by Muhammad Yunus, Anna Lappe, Michael Pollan, and others on the problems of hunger and industrial agriculture. Order the book here.
