Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life

The environmental and health benefits of eating locally are undeniable, but is it really possible to cast aside the modern food industry entirely? According to Barbara Kingsolver, author of New York Times Bestseller Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, the answer is a decisive yes. For an entire year, Kingsolver and her family abandoned the industrial-food pipeline to live a rural life -- vowing that they’d only buy food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is an enthralling narrative that will open your eyes in a hundred new ways to an old truth: You are what you eat.
