The Omnivore's Delusion

I'm always one to read both sides and digest slowly. It seems there are not a lot of writers on "the other side" who defend industrial agriculture to the general audience. I am open to viewing our food systems as more complex than simplistic readings of Michael Pollan might imply: if we go towards "sustainable" production, people will starve or have less disposable income. If we don't we may irreparably damage the environment. Here is an excellent article to digest, "The Omnivore's Delusion."
