It's time to look for sources on your research topic, so that you can start getting an idea of the conversations taking place: Go to Bracken Library's site, click on the "books" link, and then log into CardCat. Play around with possible key search terms until you find a couple books that look promising. Next, go to the library to find those books. You should also look at the books shelved in the same area to see if you can find anything else interesting that didn't show up on your CardCat search.
Check out the books you want (yes, more than two, if you find good ones), and then reply below, creating a bibliographic entry in MLA format to list the books. You might also want to explain what interested you about the books you chose. Finally, bring those books to class on Thursday--and remember, your First Major Writing Project is also due that day.

this book shows how food affects our moral selves, our health, and the environment. It raises questions to make us conscious of the decisions behind what we choose to eat.

He also talks about how the health of animals affects the health of our planet and our bodies? And uniquely, as a psychoanalyst, Masson investigates how denial keeps us from recognizing the animal at the end of our fork—think pig, not bacon—and each food and those that are forbidden.
