Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life

The author takes us on a journey with her family as they try something different, and attempt to eat only what they raise or grown on their own property, or can get local.
This isn't a new concept, but for someone from a more urban, or suburban area, it may be hard to realize. I live on a homestead, and there are many around me who already do more at HOME in STEAD of buying at the store. This includes the food we eat, how we prepare our food, the clothes we wear, and more.
This book definitely gets four stars for the possibility of helping at least a handful of people understand the benefits of this lifestyle.
But I took one star away, because there were some things the author states that I felt were more of a personal choice, and she made some of it sound like medical or health guideline. But my health is also personal to me, and I will make my own choices based on my own studies and what works best for me.
