A fantastic list of books excerpted from TakePart.com

Earlier this week, TakePart asked its Food, Inc community to share some of its favorite books about the food industry. With more than 850 replies, the response was overwhelming—and exciting.

We've compiled the whole list and broken it into four sections: the most mentioned books, the runner-ups, books related to diet, and cook books.

Michael Pollan placed three books in the 10 most-mentioned. But plenty of other great voices are in the mix, speaking on industrial agriculture, the obesity crisis, migrant farmworkers, pesticides, urban farming, and more.

Prepare to be informed.
