À propos de cet audio

 When Barbara Kingsolver and her family move from suburban Arizona to rural Appalachia, they take on a new challenge: to spend a year on a locally-produced diet, paying close attention to the provenance of all they consume.

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle follows the family through the first year of their experiment. They find themselves eager to move away from the typical food scenario of American families: a refrigerator packed with processed, factory-farmed foods transported long distances using nonrenewable fuels. In their search for another way to eat and live, they begin to recover what Kingsolver considers our nation's lost appreciation for farms and the natural processes of food production. Americans spend less of their income on food than has any culture in the history of the world, but they pay dearly in other ways: losing the flavors, diversity, and creative food cultures of earlier times. The environmental costs are also high, and the nutritional sacrifice is undeniable: on our modern industrial food supply, Americans are now raising the first generation of children to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents.

Part memoir and part journalistic investigation, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle makes a passionate case for putting the kitchen back at the center of family life and diversified farms at the center of the American diet.

I loved every moment of this book and found myself mourning the end three chapters from completion. I hung on the edge of my seat waiting to see if Lolita would hatch her babies, as I also have heritage Turkey's I am raising for this same reason. As a family we are working on our own food journey and this book has inspired me to go even further. Thank you!

Best book ever! Spoke to my very soul.

It was entertaining and inspiring to listen to a family feeding themselves locally for a year. Looking forward to planning and working in my garden.
