WORTH CONSUMING!
What more is there to be said about this? Still, it’s a common-sense set of rules you can use to guide your food journey. It is, of course, a little flippant about access issues, both in terms of money required and living in a region where an adequate variety of food can be raised and stored and sold. It’s definitely worth the (quick) read.

Agreed. I find Pollan’s earlier Omnivore’s Dilemma easier to incorporate into my own eating—but that’s because of where I live. Localism for me means mushroom hunting, which is fun and good exercising and easy (though sometimes COLD) in Wyoming, and getting grass-fed local beer and wild game. Fruits and vegetables, though… well that’s another story. We have an awfully short growing season up here.
But anything that counsels wise shopping and mindful eating gets a big thumbs up from me. And if it’s an enjoyable read, too, as these two books are, well that’s a plus!

Yes – Nova Scotia’s got neither the land nor the weather for a wide variety of foods. And winter gets long when you’re on just potatoes and carrots and beets and squash and stored apples.
