Well written, thoughtful and surprising. What a reality check for those of us who hope we're eating best by shopping at farmer's market chain stores. A really interesting journey, and will make me stop and look at the origin of every foodstuff hereafter.

This book made me want to try their 100-mile diet experiment! Thought-provoking.

I was hungry the entire time I read this. And - Saving The World potential aside - there's a lot to be said when you're eating fresh, local, seasonal. Not bored and everything tastes SO GOOD. You haven't had an egg until you've had an egg laid a day or two ago. YUMMY. Read it.

Great book that forced me to rethink my habit of eating from every corner of the earth. Now I am really enjoying knowing the people that grow and raise my food, at least a decent chunk of it.

Interesting read, although I could have done without the insight into the relationship between the authors.

Yet another book in the flood critiquing the international food supply. Pollan, Kingsolver, Schlosser... Hard to imagine that people really believed that growing food using oil and shipping it (using even more oil) from here to Timbuktu and back prior to consumption really would make sense.

Fabulous! Really made me want to feel as good about eating as they did. Although I thought it was more melancholy than a lot of reviews made it out to be. It was funny, but not quite as funny as I expected. Very informative though. I almost wish I lived in Vancouver so I could use it as a guide to local eating!
