Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: Our Year of Seasonal Eating: member book reviews

Reading this book took me a long time (similar to @sturlington's experience). It is inspirational - eating locally, and discovering that if you eat local, eating meat might become really important. It paralleled an experience I had many years ago. I was living in NE California, in a very small town in the high desert (Canby, CA). I was vegetarian, and the vegetable and fruit were delivered to the store only once a week, and even then it was not so good. I slowly realized that the cows that surrounded me were a more environmentally sound choice.
What really amazed me what that Kingsolver's children enthusiastically took up the cause. I do not know how she did that!
I agree with @Sturlington that some parts were too preachy for me. I also kept feeling "yea, done that...". But for people just discovering eating local, it could be a true inspiration.
