Besides reading my book on the Evils of the Military Industrial Corn Complex (I just finished the chapter on organic farming), I picked this up for free:
Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think by Brian Wansick
This is the guy who actually did the studies on how people eat unconsciously, with the refilling soup bowls, and the stale popcorn. (All the Good Diet Gurus are quoting his studies, like Bob Greene and Paul McKenna.)
It's just a fun book full of scientific studies, including some of the things that go wrong with them. (For example... subjects are bound to be suspicious when their chicken noodle soup is making gurgling and sucking noises.) Very entertaining.
Some of the studies are summarized here.
