Good idea. I just started a Book thread over on the General Low Carb forum. So maybe in a few days you'll see a big list developing there.
Gary Taubes is the guy who compiled a huge history and disclosure about the dietary misinformation in the U.S. beginning in the 60s that has helped fuel the obesity crisis. Dr. Robert Atkins (my hero) launched the popularity of low-carb way back in the 70s and paid a heavy price for his "bizarre" recommendations.
Now there are low-carb books and diets all over the place. The science is far from done.
In theory, I embrace the idea of grass-fed, free range, kindly treated animal food. In practice, I buy the best I can find at a price I want to pay. These days, many poultry, egg, and meat producers are limiting their use of hormones and antibiotics. At our house, we are eating less beef, but continue to enjoy pork in many forms--it's cheap, delicious, and easy to cook. I pay extra for "organic" ground beef. Over time, the choices sort themselves out.
