We had another fabulous evening last week at our second monthly book group meeting. We discussed our thoughts on Michael Pollen's "Omnivore's Dilemma", which stimulated questions about our own food choices, and what, if anything, has changed for each of us since reading his book.
Because his book can leave many frustrated, feeling there is no solution, this month we move on to Barbara Kingsolver's "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle"...a lighthearted and lyrical story of how her family DID find a solution, by deciding to "go local" for a year. Hopefully, this book will inspire and challenge many to take on what they can of their own "local challenge", this year. At the very least, maybe we can see what possibilities are out there. If you're interested in joining us, you don't even need to buy your own copy of the book...the public library has many copies available.
For the next meeting, we will have read up through the Month of April, as each chapter is divided by the month that of their local year that they're in. And, we will try a new venue, Gravity (located at the FC Brewery) where they feature as much local food as possible on the menu. We're not quite sure what local foods will be available at this time of year, but we're excited to support another local business and try a new place!
We hope to see you there!!!
