As a follow up to the Food, Inc. showing at Penn State Schuylkill last evening, I wanted to share some related documentaries and books.

Food, Inc. showed a behind the scenes look at America’s food industry and showed us where our food really comes from. We contrasted this with the farmers working locally here in Schuylkill County to bring us meats, dairy, and produce.

If you liked the film, here are several other resources that you will enjoy as well.

Documentaries:
