Wake up, America! Pay attention to what you eat!

(Originally posted at An Animal-Friendly Life)

The Nation has a new issue dated September 11, 2006 (the 100th anniversary of Gandhi's Satyagraha) that you should run out buy immediately. The entire issue is devoted to food, particularly the problems inherent in industrial agriculture and our fast food nation. As Eric Schlosser points out, it's also been a hundred years since Upton Sinclair's The Jungle made waves. You can read that piece, along with numerous other important and free articles by Alice Waters, Frances Moore Lappé, and a host of others in a sort of forum style piece until you can find your own hard copy.

The magazine also publishes a number of letters from its readers praising "their most beloved food institutions," with a few good words going to animal-friendly options.

Special thanks to reader Christopher Jones for making sure I was aware of this issue.
