Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life by Barbara Kingsolver

5.0

---

Kingsolver's love of food is made clear on every page of Animal, Vegetable, Miracle through her poetic writing style. She challenges the current food system without being overly preachy or political. She simply encourages us readers to enjoy our food and challenges us to think about where our food comes from and why we settle for less than the best - good quality, flavorful food, raised locally in season that sustains the economy and the environment. This book is a beautiful story that made me think and laugh out loud. After reading this book, I am very aware of the miracle of food - how God designed creation to nourish and sustain us if we care for it the way we were intended to.
