Barry Estabrook’s non-fiction books examine the American food system through detailed reporting and personal investigation. The three titles, published between 2011 and 2021, each focus on a different aspect of how food gets from farms to tables, and what goes wrong along the way.

Tomatoland (2011) looks at the Florida tomato industry and the exploitation of farmworkers. Pig Tales (2015) investigates industrial pork production and its alternatives. Just Eat (2021) takes a broader view, asking how individual eaters can make better choices within a broken food system. Together, the three books cover a decade of food journalism.
