Plenty: One Man, One Woman, and a Raucous Year of Eating Locally by Alisa Smith

3.0

This book is similar (in topic) to Barbara Kingsolver's "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle." While I enjoyed Kingsolver's book more (she is a great writer and chronicles fascinating gardening and raising livestock stories), I did like "Plenty." The authors of "Plenty" presented a more practical and urban approach to eating locally.

I did find much to think about while reading this book, though at times the extreme opinions and ecological philosophies of the authors rubbed me a little wrong. I have a feeling more books discussing eating locally are going to find their way into my hands.
