Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life by Camille Kingsolver, Steven L. Hopp, Barbara Kingsolver

5.0

Read with caution. It may greatly change your shopping habits. In addition to looking at where our food comes from (I was horrified more than once), the book also looks at a year in the author's life where she and her family attempt to live off the land. Not something us urban folks can do, but she looks at the importance of buying local foods and eating in season. I was surprised at many things I learned from the book. It is written as a team effort. Barbara, her husband and her adult daughter all contribute sections to the book and each one has a unique voice. The sections that Stephen writes are full of resources, websites, etc so you can check up on the facts for yourself. If this does not have you shopping at farmer's markets and wearing birkenstocks, I don't know what will. :)
