Reading:

The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan



Plain and simple: I'm a farmer's daughter growing up in the military-industrial complex and believe we've missed the mark and actually gain by taking things away sometimes. It is my entry level book back into sweet simplicity and the basics. This book is all about realizing where our food comes from, not just agriculturally but also politically, and makes me rethink the social implications of everything I put in my mouth. I firmly believe what we put into our bodies effects us physically, emotionally, and even spiritually. Particularly fond of the chapter called "The Animals: Practicing Complexity." It rang true with so much more than food.
