The basic premise is that of a family who decides to spend one year eating only foods that they've grown themselves or sourced locally. Just by reading the first few chapters I feel so much more knowledgeable about how we get our food as a nation, and how getting it is taking a toll on the world around us.
Along with charming stories about planting, growing, canning and raising livestock, the book also provides startling information and statistics about commercial farming, the childhood obesity epidemic, and genetically engineered foods.
I highly recommend it- thanks again Kelly!!
