Here's one that may fit into your list of must read books.

Twinkie, Deconstructed by Steve Ettlinger. This book is about the ingredients that go into a Twinkie and how they are created. Super informative on the ingredients of everyday foods.

Coming from the other end, is Christien Meindertsm's PIG 05049

    Christien Meindertsma has spent three years researching all the
    products made from a single pig. Amongst some of the more 
    unexpected results were: Ammunition, medicine, photo paper, 
    heart valves, brakes, chewing gum, porcelain, cosmetics, cigarettes, 
    conditioner and even bio diesel.
