If you're interested in the book, but want to get a taste before committing yourself to reading it, you should check out the July 19th edition of "Speaking of Faith," a weekly radio show from American Public Media. Kingsolver spoke with host Krista Tippett about the Ethics of Eating, delving into her family's experience, the process of growing much of what she eats and how she sees this country taking many positives steps towards local eating.

Not only is she a HILARIOUS writer, but the story she tells is incredibly inspiring. She's not a proselytizer, which a lot of folks fear from the 'reduce-your-carbon-footprint' camp, so I feel like she's an accessible advocate, not overbearing in her methods but certainly clear in her message.
Oh, yeah, and it's AWESOME book for foodies, too--great recipes and rich descriptions of the things they eat.

I grow herbs, tomatoes, lettuce and spinach and peas when it's not too hot, garlic, asparagus, peppers, and I'm trying to figure out how to defeat The Dreaded Squash Vine Borer. As for all the rest, I'd love to have the room and, more necessary, the great lashings of cash it would require.
