Plenty

I did manage to finish reading this book this weekend. I had seen it on some blogs and reviews in the media. I was able to get it from my library (through interlibrary loan).


It was an easy read with some humorous parts. It is about a couple from Vancouver who decide to only eat food that comes from a within 100 miles of them for an entire year. It makes you think about where food comes from as they didn't find anyone growing flour nearby for quite some time. No bread, pasta, pancakes, pies, baked goods, etc. Eventually they did find a farmer within a 100 miles from which to buy flour. Although this book is a microcosmic look of one couple's eating habits, it addresses our national system for food supply. Definitely, food for thought.
