Interesting book.

Barbara Kingsolver wrote this book called Animal, Vegetable, Miracle.

It was called to my attention by a friend who is reading it and I have picked it up.

Quote:
"This is the story of a year in which we made every attempt to feed ourselves animals and vegetables whose provenance we really knew . . . and of how our family was changed by our first year of deliberately eating food produced from the same place where we worked, went to school, loved our neighbors, drank the water, and breathed the air."
There is a term that has come from this book - locavore. People who only use locally produced products. Saves on petroleum. Can you think of any better way to "go green?"
