Many of us can relate for the need for coffee.Īdjusting took a while. They made very few exceptions one was to switch to purchasing fair trade coffee. It changed my family’s eating.Īnimal, Vegetable, Miracle tells the year Kingsolver’s family made a move from Arizona to a family farm in southwestern Virginia in order to try to live one year eating only the foods they themselves raised or could purchase or trade in the local community. I was introduced to Barbara Kingsolver’s writing in the late 1980s when she published The Bean Trees and read several others of her novels, but it wasn’t until last year when I ran across her 2007 nonfiction Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, a Year of Food Life. It moved to my bedside table and as I started reading it, I was hooked. When I was younger I read only fiction and wondered how people could enjoy nonfiction, but I guess I had equated nonfiction with school assignments and know now that if you read anything about a subject you enjoy, it is fun. I’m a reader….always have been and I read every day for at least an hour to help me turn off the craziness of the day and relax for bedtime. If you read the blog and like it and then go on and find out more you may be hooked into a new way of eating. Warning: information in this blog posting may be an entry drug, like marijuana is touted for harder stuff.
