a reading list

In my research, I've come across a whole load of books and essays that are highly recommended on the topics I'm already discussing here (most of them go beyond eating locally). While I haven't vetted them, I wanted to put them here as a reading list for myself, but also for anyone else greatly intrigued by food and the choices we get to make regarding it.

So here they are:

• Coming Home to Eat by Gary Paul Nabhan
• In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan
• The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism by Daniel Bell
• The Philosophy of Taste by Brillat-Savarin
• A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold
• Walden by Henry David Thoreau
• The Hungry Soul: Eating and the Perfection of Our Nature by Leon Kass
• The End of Agriculture in the American Portfolio by Steven Blank
• "The Whole House" & "The Total Economy" by Wendell Berry
• Pastured Poultry Profit$ by Joel Salatin
• Grass Productivity by Andre Voisin
• The 100-Mile Diet: A Year of Local Eating by Alisa Smith and JB Mackinnon

And additional writers:

• JI Rodale
• Sir Albert Howard
• Wes Jackson
• Louis Bromfield

Do you have additional recommendations? Add them in the comments!

Lettuce read!
