Barbara Kingsolver is a fun author, a smart person, and she writes about interesting things. But I couldn't get engaged with this book. It strikes me as a less incisive, but sweeter, version of "The Omnivore's Dilemma." Kingsolver and family seem to be nice and well-intentioned people who care deeply about how food choices relate to broader environmental issues. While they are very critical of agro-business, there is very little critical complexity to the broad argument about how food reflects broader issues and inequalities. Local farmers are good; oil companies and big business are bad. More people should try to be good. I tend to agree philosophically with most of what she says about eating things in season and trying to be aware about where food comes from, but partially because I agree philosophically this book did not provide many bursts of insight. It is a nice book to agree with, and the intentions are admirable, but that alone failed to keep my interest.
