About this product
Product Information
Author Barbara Kingsolver and her family abandoned the industrial-food pipeline to live a rural life--vowing that, for one year, they'd only buy food raised in their own neighborhood, grow it themselves, or learn to live without it. Part memoir, part journalistic investigation, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is an enthralling narrative that will open your eyes in a hundred new ways to an old truth: You are what you eat.

Buyers beware! Received this belt and it is FAKE, it was not the one pictured in the auction. Slight differences and if you were not really looking you would not pick up on it. Seller did give me a full refund.
