carrynlund 's review for:
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
by Barbara Kingsolver
This book really is for anyone who is interested in thinking about the environmental impact of food.
Not only did I learn so many facts, but there were several times throughout the book where I literally thought to myself "huh, I had never thought of that before!" Refreshingly, this book is informative about environmental eating and totes its benefits without being too preachy. I was also glad that it was void of those gross scare-tactic facts that food books often resort to.
The reason I settle at that because as far as a BOOK goes, I found it a bit tedious to read. Though I loved the content, it was a slow read for me, and at times I thought to myself "please just get on with it."
But I have been convinced to make some positive changes in the way my food choices impact the environment and economy, and I would enthusiastically recommend this book to anyone who is even 10% "foodie."
