Great thread....
Our Book Club is currently reading "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver. The Kingsolver family lives on the land on a farm in Virginia's Appalachian mountains.

I was hesitant to read it as I couldn't imagine reading a book about food but I was wrong - it is very well written and it will change my buying habits. The author can be a little preachy at times but it's a fascinating look at organic farming and how corporations have changed the way we eat. Most of our food travels 1,000 miles before it arrives on our table. You will never look at your food the same way again!
