Book Review: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: a year of food Life
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a fascinating, insightful, well written and easy-to-read book explaining in detail how our dependency on food from global sources has made us that much more dependent on oil to have the food brought to us, and this is an extremely enlightening description of how we can rid ourselves of this fuel dependency as a society by changing things in our life through changing what we choose to eat, and deciding for ourselves what we will tolerate as far as how the food is distributed throughout the world, and from where. This book illuminates the facts of how simple food expectations that we are unaware of but are ingrained deeply into our social structures which connect to other people and societies through out the world, can be altered in ways that are dependent on US individually to make, not through our governments. It describes how our government, economy and the treatment of food starting from the creation of hybrid seeds, to the ability the seeds have to resist insects, to how it gets to us at the table, is intertwined in such a way that we can no longer have the capacity to grow naturally, or organically, on a global scale. It is frightening what has been done, yet there is still hope for us.

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.
