Book Review - Coming Home to Eat

 Coming Home to Eat
 (The Pleasures and Politics of local food)
 by: Gary Paul Nabhan
 pub: 2002

This book tracks the authors life as he travels
back to his homeland then attempts to replicate
the local food systems in his life.  The book is
centered around Arizona and the dry desert climate.
It is easy reading and provides good insight into
applying sustainable ideas in todays world.

A quote from the book:

  Until we stop craving to be somewhere else and
  someone else other than animals whose very cells
  are constituted from the place on earth we love
  the most, then there is little reason to care
  about the fate of native foods, family farms, or
  healthy landscapes and communities.

The book encourages all of us to reconnect to our
food supply and the earth at our feet.
