I got The Omnivore's Dilemma for Christmas, and plan to start reading it soon.
I haven't done too much research about the human food industry, but have done a lot of research about the pet food industry. I'm not sure if you're interested in that or not, but Marion Nestle published a book about that as well: Pet Food Politics: The Chihuahua in the Coal Mine, which is about the events that led up to and surrounded the pet food recall in 2007 (as well as the issues that still exist). This actually has tons of relevance to the human food industry as well, of course, because pet food and human food are necessarily linked (pet food products are generally the scraps and wastes of human food products). There's also Food Pets Die For: Shocking Facts About Pet Food, by Ann Martin, which is one of those shock books, but definitely very relevant.
