Michael Pollen's "Omnivore's Dilemma" (ISBN10 #0143038583) covers the "corn-ification" of our food supply in much more detail. It goes into great detail about our food supply, alternatives and looking at how those choices affect us, without being preachy.
And just remember: mass-agriculture is one of the compromises we accept when we have larger and larger civilizations. Before we were "corn people" we were "wheat people".
