Add 'Righteous Porkchop' to My B-Day Wish List

I have a new item for my birthday wish list. I’d probably put it after the Aqua Globe set, but before the “revolutionary” Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter.

Here’s what I want: Nicolette Hahn Niman’s book published in February, “Righteous Porkchop Finding a Life and Good Food Beyond Factory Farms.”

I’d only read about Niman, an environmental lawyer, in relationship to her husband, Bill Niman, a pioneer of grass-fed beef and now goats.

Here’s why I want to read the book…from the Harper Collins promo:

In telling her story, Niman details not only why to choose meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, and fish from traditionally farmed sources (and avoid products tainted by chemicals and antibiotic-resistant bacteria), but also how to do so. She reveals what to look for on labels, why to skip animal products from outside the United States, and what questions to ask when eating out.
