I had the same "vegetarian dilemma" feeling when reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle- it is a rather interesting question of whether eating locally raised meat is truly greener than being vegetarian. Eating a locally farmed, cage free organic egg is greener than an important vegan protein item, but meat is still ethically troublesome. <br />SF is so very forward with the sustainable food mandate- I will love seeing how that plays out. It seems so silly that we devote so much time and energy into lawn spaces, when food could be grown at the same, or less, expense. <br />I will be putting Farm City on my reading list.<br /><br />Cheers!Hayleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362325078250888052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-389538230458905844.post-12731973057157256832009-07-23T14:12:57.862-07:002009-07-23T14:12:57.862-07:00i heard her on the radio not too long ago and was ...i heard her on the radio not too long ago and was meaning to mark the book to read. of course i forgot. so THANK YOU for the great review and reminder!lisa solomonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11824254691379334918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-389538230458905844.post-76179218234230040952009-07-23T06:12:24.520-07:002009-07-23T06:12:24.520-07:00I recently read this book as well, and had the exa...I recently read this book as well, and had the exact same reactions to her writing, and to the meat-eating, as a long-time vegetarian myself.
