Week of November 23, 2009

News Item: This week while millions of Americans are preparing to feast on turkey and a host of side dishes and desserts (many of which are made with animal products), we provide you with a list of book and video titles that are essentially turkey-free. Read about vegetarianism, animal rights and food, and the human diet. (We’ve thrown in a few titles on the meat industry, though, just to keep things balanced.) Enjoy!
