Her sustainable diet not only brings to light society's unhealthy dependency on mass-produced, prepackaged foods but also helps her reconnect with her body and her environment. Like Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and the bestselling books of Michael Pollan, Blessing the Hands That Feed Us is part personal narrative and part global manifesto. By challenging herself to eat and buy local, Robin exposes the cause and effect of the food business, from the processed goods laden with sugar, fat, and preservatives to the trucks burning through fuel to bring them to a shelf near you. Robin's journey is also one of community as she befriends all the neighboring farmers who epitomize the sustainable lifestyle. Among them are Tricia, the prolific market gardener who issued Robin's ten-mile challenge; Britt and Eric, two young, enthusiastic farmers living their dream of self- sufficiency; and Vicky, a former corporate executive turned milk producer. Featuring practical tips on adopting your own locally sourced diet, Blessing the Hands That Feed Us is an inspirational guide and testimonial to the locavore movement and a healthy food future. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Local foods|zWashington (State)|zWhidbey Island. 650 0 Community-supported agriculture|zWashington (State) |zWhidbey Island. 650 0 Self-reliant living|zWashington (State)|zWhidbey Island. 651 0 Whidbey Island (Wash.)|xSocial conditions. 700 1 Robin, Vicki. 710 2 hoopla digital. 830 0 Thorndike Press large print health, home & learning. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11412049?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781452697697_180.jpeg
