Blessing the Hands That Feed Us Lessons from a 10-Mile Diet

<b>An exploration of our relationship with food and eating locally—from the bestselling author of <i>Your Money or Your Life</i></b><br><br>Taking the local food movement to heart, Vicki Robin pledged for one month to eat only food sourced within a ten-mile radius of her home on Whidbey Island in Puget Sound, Washington. Like Barbara Kingsolver’s <i>Animal, Vegetable, Miracle </i>and the bestselling books of Michael Pollan, <i>Blessing the Hands That Feed Us</i> is part personal narrative and part global manifesto. Robin’s challenge for a sustainable diet not only brings to light society’s unhealthy dependence on mass-produced, prepackaged foods but also helps her reconnect with her body, her community, and her environment. Featuring recipes throughout, along with practical tips on adopting your own locally-sourced diet, this is a candid, humorous, and inspirational guide to the locavore movement and a healthy food future.
