Supermarket produce sections bulging with a year-round supply of perfectly round, bright red-orange tomatoes have become all but a national birthright. But in Tomatoland, which is based on his James Beard Award-winning article, The Price of Tomatoes, investigative food journalist Barry Estabrook reveals the huge human and environmental cost of the $5 billion fresh tomato industry. Fields are sprayed with more than one hundred different herbicides and pesticides. Tomatoes are picked hard and green and artificially gassed until their skins acquire a marketable hue.

it wasn't difficult to listen to while driving, but I think reading would have been more difficult. the author does a good job trying to connect the ideals of migrant and immigrant worker inequity with crappy tomatoes due to industry mis-regulation. it was a bit of a stretch to combine the two in the first place.
My opinion is that it should have been two books that went more in depth on each issue.
