Book Worms

So as Jill mentioned in our last post, we have found a couple of books to help us in our research. Some we got from the library and some we got from our friend who recommended a couple. Nevertheless, all of them are pretty interesting and you should check them out if you get the chance.

#1: Harvest for Hope: A Guide to Mindful Eating by Jane Goodall

In this book, Goodall comments on consumerism and how we produce food and urges us to try and be more sustainable in any way possible. She encourages the reader to make a change because every step counts. I will be reading this novel by Goodall and I am very excited to read about how I can eat sustainably.

#2: Genetically Modified Foods by Lillian E. Forman

This novel covers genetically modified foods and the science, debate and ethics behind them. (Jill will be reading this book)

#3: Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser

In this novel, Schlosser touches on how Americans rely on fast food and the impact that fast food has on our health and our land. I will be reading this book and am very excited to read some revolutionary ideas about the fast food industry.

#4: The Ethics of What We Eat by Peter Singer and Jim Mason

This novel addresses what we eat, how it is produced/ manufactured/ grown and the ethics behind it. Jill will be reading this book.
#5: The China Study by T. Colin Campbell and Thomas M. Campbell II

This book discusses how food and sustainability has an impact on our health. Jill will also be reading this book.


Sorry for such a boring post but I just wanted to let you guys know which books we will be reading to help us with our research. I've heard from many people that these books will shed light on how our food is produced and what effects it has on our health and environment, and will make you want to change what and how you eat the minute you finish the book. We will keep you updated on our continual progress and hopefully we'll have something exciting to share with you guys soon!
