random drive-by blogging
i was at a trade [educational] convention this weekend, and i'm in a book-y mood.
[side note: independent booksellers can drink like CHAMPS. i might be in the wrong business.]
here's what i have to say about 'meat: a love story', author - susan bourette: not much. I can't add a picture of the cover since the book doesn't pub 'til may and amazon doesn't have a photo. probably the cover art isn't final.
i'm kinda on a food book kick. local food and related topics are hott [sic]. i believed the info on the back of the ARC of this title that the book would give me insight into how to be a kinder carnivore [i am concerned about the animals, and i'm also realistic about my eating habits], all the while giving us a glimpse into the author's journey from omnivore to herbivore to omnivore to herbivore to omnivore.
i gave up before i got to the part about how to be a kinder carnivore because i couldn't slog through the memior of the author's food crises and their causes. i'm sure i agree that slaughter houses are nasty and would make many people cut the meat out of their diet, at least for a little while, but i already read 'fast food nation.' i've covered that part. i guess i'll just have to go back to the resources listed in 'Animal Vegetable Miracle' or find one of the other 5 hot local food books to tell me what to do.
they can't all be good books....so many of them aren't.
have i blogged 'fast food nation' or 'animal vegetable miracle?' is this thing searchable? [si, si...soy una perdedora...]
