Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan

Unbelievable how much corn we grow in this country, and how the free market forces have attempted to shape the inelastic demand of human hunger into a profitable enterprise that can sustain continuous growth. Also fascinating how artificially low oil prices have supported this bubble of energy intensive agriculture. Not going to be pretty when it bursts.
