Animal, Vegetable, Miracle - Barbara Kingsolver

Subtitled: A year of food life. The tale of a family's move toward sustainable food consumption. A modern back to the earth story, not unlike many others. However, Kingsolver makes the tale fun to read and offers much to think about. With the current world climate crisis, the locally grown food movement takes on a new dimension. You will definitely think twice about where your food comes from and the effects that has on the planet. And you will likely change some of the ways you consume food. I bought a dehydrator and have determined to grow and use more food on my lot.

The book gets a little preachy and is not always a practical guide, but it is written in a way that most can relate to.
