Barbara Kingsolver has just published a book called Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. I've just started reading it and am already captured by her wonderful writing style. It's about how she and her family moved to family property in the Appalachians and ate only local food for a year. I read a review of it, and the only complaint was that they are a wealthy family who could do things most folks can't. Then I heard an interview with Kingsolver, and the interviewer asked her what they did when the year was up. She tried to explain that this was not just a stunt, but a lifestyle change -- they have continued to eat the healthy way they adopted.
I still can't imagine giving up bananas...
