Book Reviews of Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life (P.S.)
Book Review: Terrific book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Barbara Kingsolver has struck a wonderful balance among educating readers about gardening, slow food, food science and telling a great tale of a family's adventure of local eating. The recipes are great, too!
What a revelation to learn that we have all been anesthetized by the large corporations, whether they be the corporations that produce processed food, or the seed companies with their genetically modified terminator genes in the seeds.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and we have already made changes in our food shopping. Wish this great book were still available on audio CD.
Summary of Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life (P.S.)
Author Barbara Kingsolver and her family abandoned the industrial-food pipeline to live a rural life-vowing that, for one year, they?d only buy food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is an enthralling narrative that will open your eyes in a hundred new ways to an old truth: You are what you eat.
