Folks, This Ain't Normal: A Farmer's Advice for Happier Hens, Healthier People, and a Better World by Joel Salatin

4.0

Overall this book offers some fantastic points about the importance of returning to historically normal food practices. I found the content interesting and thought-provoking. It led to a lot of “hey, listen to this” conversation prompts with my husband as I was reading it. However, I got bogged down in the middle and set it aside for a while. It took me 2 months to finish it, which is abnormal for me. I found the author’s personality and delivery a bit much. He’s definitely a strong character. Also, I would have loved to have a bibliography included to verify the statistics and facts he used. I’m more likely to believe his data when it is backed up. Overall, I’m glad that I read it as we continue our family journey to eat better food.
