Seeds Of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies About the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You're Eating
by Jeffrey M. Smith

Really readable book, and perfectly suitable to the average person who -- like me -- does not have a degree in agriculture or genetics or politics. Luckily, it doesn't confine itself to scaring the cr-p out of you, there's also plenty of information on how to protect yourself from these products. My kids call me the "Food Nazi" so this book is definitely right up my alley!

Does anyone know of a good book on trans fats and alternatives? Bonus points if you know of a recipe book.

Allanque, how about Jean Carper's "Eat Smart" cookbook? (Same lady who wrote "Your Miracle Brain".)

I don't know of a good book on trans-fats, but you might find this website interesting:

Yup, already found that website. Will have to look into that book. I want The Complete Cooking Light Cookbook.
