Barbara Kingsolver, author of many other acclaimed novels like Pigs in Heaven and Animal Dreams, came out with her first non-fiction narrative Animal, Vegetable, Miracle in 2007.
It's a story of how her family was changed by their first year of deliberately eating food produced from the same place where they worked, went to school, loved their neighbors, drank the water, and breathed the air.
"It's a hybrid book...part memoir...part call to action, part education, part recipe collection...Animal, Vegetable, Miracle makes an important contribution to the chorus of voices calling for change." -Chicago Tribune
Throughout the book, her environmental biologist husband Stephen L. Hopp, provides side notes that include facts, and figures about the state of our food chain, the politics surrounding food and farming, and what we can do as individuals and as a society to eat more sustainably. I would now like to share those notes with you.
