This book about farms will make you rethink what's on your plate

Growing up in Fort Worth, Will Potter was immersed in cowboy culture. He spent time in stockyards, Wild West shows and barbecue joints; once, in his miniature cowboy boots, he walked through an enormous, supposedly fun Cattlepen Maze built out of the metal, prison-like restraints known as cow chutes. As a child, Potter writes in his new book, 'Little Red Barns,' he played with a toy barn that had a handle on top, which he could click neatly closed and carry around (I flashed back to my own toy, a Fisher Price model with plastic horses, cows and chickens). Even far from the cowtowns, most of us are raised on stories and songs of the family farm, where the barns are rust-red and picturesque, and cute animals gambol happily in a picket-fenced yard.
