So interesting!
It had a similar, though less dark, vibe to the Secret Life of Groceries. As a recovering germaphobe, chronic health fighter, and skincare minimalist, this piqued so many areas of interest for me. If any of these areas interest you, read this accessible, meandering deep dive. :)
Favorite tidbits that I've brought to conversation from the book:
Ch 6
-cohabitating partners start to have similar biomes
Ch 7
-health benefits of physical touch include strengthened immune system, lowering blood pressure, improving memory, reducing pain, and more - McMillan - addiction support in Portland, Oregon - Treehouse Recovery - predicated heavily on physical contact
Ch 9
-playground with cows, chickens, goats, and ponies - Wondergarden Farm - Danish government park
-Nature-based programs - Brooklyn forest - parent child class for preschoolers meant to help kids build a meaningful connection to nature and wildlife with vigorous physical work and nourishing food, with simple rhythms and constant singing, with feeling at home in the forest. Prospect park.
