Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life by Barbara Kingsolver

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
Kingsolver's lament on the nature of the American diet and state of our ignorance about the food we consume each day manages to be wildly depressing and amazingly readable at the same time. Her story of her family's return to their Virginia farm is interspersed with commentary by her husband and eldest daughter. While Kingsolver makes her case against the industrialization of the American farm she also brings to her book a warmth that comes from her love of the farm's land and livestock, and abundance of food and positive experiences they provide her family.
