Animal, Vegetable, Miracle


I chose to read this book this month. I've been wanting to read it for a while now, and it seemed like the appropriate time. I really enjoyed this book, though it was slow going at times. The book is about one family's attempt to become more connected to their food by eating local for one year. They own farm land, so they grow, harvest and preserve most of the food they eat (including meat). It's interesting to think about eating more locally and eating food when it's in season. This book is not for everyone, but if you're looking for ways to reduce your carbon footprint, save money, or become more self sufficient it's a good resource.
