Local Food Knowledge

I have been hearing about this book for sometime, but finally picked it up after I wanted to start a fall garden and everyone's advice I sought went in a different direction.  So I called a friend, who just moved to Cali and has the greenest thumb I know and she said 'Oh I don't know, let me find this book, I always use it as a garden reference'.  This book was Animal, Vegetable, Miracle By Barbara Kingsolver. I bought it, read it, and won't think of my garden in the same way again.  Also,  I have been vegan for sometime: mostly because I never had the time to look into local foods.  Even though I won't eat meat again, this book gave me a new perspective on local foods, food origins, and has made me rethink my approach to my diet: and how my diet affects our world.

I have much more to say, but I'll let the book speak for itself. (Its much more interesting!)
