About this product

Product Information

Author Barbara Kingsolver and her family abandoned the industrial-food pipeline to live a rural life--vowing that, for one year, 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.

One excellent, lifestyle-changing book!
I bought this for my husband who is, by trade and by God-given talent, a nutritionist. I read it about a year ago and KNEW that if I had him read it then, we'd be in for some serious lifestyle/food changes in our family that I, personally, was just not ready for! Throughout this past year, he has approached these lifestyle changes on his own thru his own constant research so the time has come. This fabulous book is a wonderful, page-turning read. It's one of the most eye-opening books you'll seriously ever open. There just is no honest way you can go back to your normal eating and grocery buying habits after reading it. Locally grown produce and meats. Humanely raised protein sources. You must read this to appreciate our food chain, how it gets to us and why it matters.I bought this for my husband who is, by trade and by God-given talent, a nutritionist.

Do you know where your food has been?
This week it is tomatoes...last time it was spinach, right? The food that we eat is making us sick and Barbara Kingsolver has spent a lot of time thinking about why. Being the courageous woman she is, Barbara has not only thought about the topic, she has changed her life based on her conclusions. This book is her journal as she and her family reconnect with food. I've read all of Barbara's books. I confess that when my husband and I lost our high-tech jobs in the dot.com crash in Minnesota and were looking around for what to do next the inspiration for our move to Tucson was her books. Her description of the way that the Santa Catalina mountains blush pink just before the sun sets is absolutely true. I try to be outside every night to watch it happen!

I've read all of Barbara's books. I confess that when my husband and I lost our high-tech jobs in the dot.com crash in Minnesota and were looking around for what to do next the inspiration for our move to Tucson was her books. Her description of the way that the Santa Catalina mountains blush pink just before the sun sets is absolutely true. I try to be outside every night to watch it happen! I built an organic garden here in Tucson and learned to plant with the Sonoran desert's FIVE seasons as described in Barbara's Tucson books. So of course, I was thrilled to find out that her long awaited next book, Animal,Vegetable, Mineral was coming out last year and rushed out to buy it. I had been wondering what she was up to having only read a few magazine articles by her and hearing rumors that she had left Tucson. Well, it turns out, that she is a more serious gardener than I am. It is touch and go feeding a family out of a Tucson garden. This year we had a "cold" March - my tomatoes weren't happy because their roots were cold and didn't set fruit and now that it is June and they are ready to set fruit it is 109 degrees and the fruit is splitting in the heat and the pollen is too sticky to move anyway. So -- Barbara and her family up and moved to an old farm in Appalachia where there are FOUR seasons and regular rain and the tomatoes pile up so high that she has to can them. There are great recipes in this book - my 7-year-old will never look at cheese quite the same way again after making some with me and watching milk curdle! I'm a big believer in raising a child to know where his food comes from and this book was an inspiration. It is also really funny! I don't want to give anything away - but there is this scene about trying to get farm animals pregnant that had me laughing so loud that I woke my whole household up! (Yes...I was up reading past my bedtime!) I'm researching a new line of "thoughtful gifts" to sell here on eBay and one of my muses is definitely Barbara. I'm looking for ways to help ordinary people "know where their food has been" and restore some folk wisdom in what can be a very crazy world where modern medicine can help you when you are sick, but not help you get well and factory-in-the-field fruits and vegetables, let alone animal products, can be poison. What do you think? Have you read the book? What is your favorite recipe? Are your tomatoes splitting in the heat?

A Pioneer in the 21st Century
I borrowed someone else's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle book and decided I needed my own copy. If you are looking to be self-sustained with your own home-grown/produced food, the authors tell how and why they made the decision to commit to a year of practice and what the adventure entailed. You'll want to read much of the book more than once. I got the feel of being a pioneer in the 21st century. The book will not be disappointing!I borrowed someone else's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle book and decided I needed my own copy.

You are what you eat...want to know what you're eating?
This book offers a very interesting view on the food situation in the United States and brings up many crises and topics not thought about by the average citizen. The books gets a little bit repetitive and dry at times but can give you something to ponder whenever you eat anything. Kingsolver has a very convincing and strong writing style. I would not have been interested in this book expect for that it was required for a class but now that I have read it I would recommend it to anyone who has ever wondered where their food came from or how to live on homegrown food. Also pairs well with “The Omnivores Dilemma” by Michael Pollan.This book offers a very interesting view on the food situation in the United States and brings up many crises and topics not thought about by the average citizen.

Brilliant research; engaging writing.
This is one of the most thought-provoking books I've read recently. Barbara Kingsolver makes us look differently at what we call 'fresh' in a supermarket (isn't that an oxymoron?) If it travels 1500+ miles, how frest is it exactly... Her research is thorough; if you plant a garden, just which corporation exactly are you buying your seeds from? There are wonderful recipes included for the (over)abundance of food. I dogeared this book mercilessly because it is something I will return to read, and I very seldom do that. Kudos.This is one of the most thought-provoking books I've read recently. Barbara Kingsolver makes us look differently at what we call 'fresh' in a supermarket (isn't that an oxymoron?)
