The Omnivore's Dilemma : A Natural History Of Four Meals
by: Michael Pollan
Covers some of the same ground as "Animal, vegetable, miracle" but much more thoroughly details what goes into the food available at every supermarket. Lots of scary and sobering information.
Some inspiring stuff too - like where he visits the very successful Polyface Farm (http://www.polyfacefarms.com/) to learn about "grass farming".
The Altadena Library does have this:
