There are, indeed, compelling reasons for eating less packaged and traveled junk, for slowing down our lifestyles, and eating and living more deliberately. But her approach is to simply tell the story of what her family did, interspersed with good information about the larger context in which she carried out the experiment. Some of what she describes really sounds fun and page after page my mouth was left watering, hungering for food that really has some flavor and substance to it. I think she hopes that if someone reads the book and is intrigued enough to try one or two things, or even just start buying more from local farmers markets, that some of the larger messages will have some hopes of being carried forward.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for stopping by.<BR/><BR/>Eileen, you and me both -- waiting for time to read so many things!kladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09526715552795733402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-457782610616273742.post-65313146656692255992007-06-04T16:56:00.000-04:002007-06-04T16:56:00.000-04:00Thanks for the link to my write-up!
