Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life

August 20, 2008

I am reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life by Barbara Kingsolver. It is important to read as 51 percent of our carbon footprint is related to food, and this is a true story of a family that unplugged from making their share of that footprint for a whole year. The book is not only a well-written, enlightening read, but it is also fun to hear how the author’s family meets up with the challenge of changing all their eating habits to local and organic food. There is a full range of information to interest and engage the reader, from environmental information to seasonal recipes, written by a bestselling author and her family.
