I was watching The Weather Channel to see my local weather when they started talking about a book “Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life” by: Barbara Kingsolver. With characteristic poetry and pluck, Barbara Kingsolver and her family sweep readers along on their journey away from the industrial-food pipeline to a rural life in which they vow to buy only food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it. Their good-humored search yields surprising discoveries about turkey sex life and overly zealous zucchini plants, en route to a food culture that's better for the neighborhood and also better on the table. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Animal, Vegetable, and 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 got this book from my mom (as I get most of my books) and just looking at the cover it didn't look very interesting so it sat around for a while. Then I put it in my travel bag and decided to read it on a plane since I was bored (after my computer battery died). I love this book.
