I appreciate your reading suggestions. I've read Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food, and I love him already. And I see what you mean: it is hard explaining to kids the complicated issues involved.

For a while, I have been very interested in these issues, and recommend the following books -Fast Food Nation; Animal, Vegetable, Miracle; Omnivore's Delimma, and if you really want to scare yourself, The End of Food (you know, to read in your spare time...). It is hard work, though, convincing others about watching what we are eating without comming off like a fanatic. Trying to explain to my kids about why processed things are bad for us is not easy. Thanks for the info on the show- keep up the good work. Scott Great ideas/thoughts.

I need to see Food Inc. (but am a little afraid of what I'll discover!) We've done CSAs -- I'm sure you'll love yours. It really forces you to branch out, vary your diet and learn how to cook some unusual veggies. Ghi: So glad you caught the show too and that it kept your 1st grader's attention so well -- during and after! Dan: Great that you were able to catch the show. I need to see Food Inc.

We watched What's On Your Plate today (still buried in snow!) and though long (almost 2 hrs) it kept his attention most of the time and he kept talking about it for hours. =) Hi – Thanks for the great post Amy!

It's amazing how much Food Inc. changed the perception of food for my wife and I. We have a 15 month old and are determined to make smart food choices for her after observing our friend's kids and how they eat/are fed. We joined a CSA for the first time are super excited for this upcoming season. Sadly, most of our friends didn't know what a CSA was. Great list of tips, Amy!
