Product Description:


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.





Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - not so sure
I have read all of Kingsolver's books, and greatly enjoyed them. This one was not so easy. My real problem with it was the assumption that we all have "family" to have meals with, cook with, and hang out in the kitchen or garden with. I would love that, but it just isn't the case, and I'm sure that is so for many others. So many are single person households now, with no family, or no family close by. So I guess I would have to say it brought into full focus how alone I feel. I agree with another ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Surprisingly Inspirational!
A friend in my book club recommended this and so I decided to read it not knowing too much about it. But as a mom of two young children, I had been feeling like I should focus on feeding them better. I thought this was just going to be a book about how living on vegetables for a year made them so healthy. But it was a fascinating and capitivating story because of not only what they went through during that year, but also because of her revealing insights into the food industry - how meat is produced for ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Guided my thinking about what/how to eat
I've struggled with my weight for years which tells you that I've also struggled with food for the same time. I've recently let my underlying distaste (pun intended) for factory-farmed animals rise to the surface and am exploring other ways to eat that don't involve inhumane treatment for animals and the world we're putting at risk. Kinsolver's book was one I started, put aside as "too hard", picked up, put aside, and picked up again as I really got serious. I doubt I can ever emulate her experience, but ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Hand to mind to mouth
The less you know about the food you eat, the more urgent your need to read this book. Organized around Kingsolver's family decision to eat-local for a year, the tale she tells is much larger--encompassing as it does the entire relationship between food, energy, nutrition, corporate agriculture, marketing, global climate change and the sexual habits of turkeys. The novelist brings all of her writerly experience to the task and she is at her best in barbed asides about the forces that force feed Americans ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good story, real life
Although I was questioning nearly every food choice while reading this book, it is fascinating! Not everyone will feel this way: a friend said she could not get into it because she doesn't like asparagus, and that is what the book was about (!?). Now that I have had time to fully digest the book (pun intended), I am able to be more mindful of my food choices without being completely overwhelmed. I enjoyed the recipes, and the notes on where to find more information on several of the issues presented. ... Read More
