Blessing the Hands That Feed Us: Lessons from a 10-Mile Diet

Blessing the Hands That Feed Us: Lessons from a 10-Mile Diet

An exploration of our relationship with food and eating locallyâ€”from the bestselling author of Your Money or Your Life

Taking the local food movement to heart, Vicki Robin pledged for one month to eat only food sourced within a ten-mile radius of her home on Whidbey Island in Puget Sound, Washington. Like Barbara Kingsolverâ€™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. Robinâ€™s challenge for a sustainable diet not only brings to light societyâ€™s unhealthy dependence on mass-produced, prepackaged foods but also helps her reconnect with her body, her community, and her environment. Featuring recipes throughout, along with practical tips on adopting your own locally-sourced diet, this is a candid, humorous, and inspirational guide to the locavore movement and a healthy food future.
