I chose the novel Fast Food Nation for my book club book. I have strong views on the American diet and how it's affecting our nation. I love the idea of sustainability. I have two pretty sizable gardens and this year started trying to raise my own livestock. This is pretty difficult to do in the suburban neighborhood I live in. The affect that having your own hormone and chemical free foods has a big impact on a person's health. I have four chickens and two ducks that all produce hormone free eggs that I incorporate into my breakfast and cooking. Needless to say I could go on and on about the topic of sustainability and the very poor quality of much of the food we as a nation consume. I feel like I will really enjoy this book because of my VERY strong interest on this topic.
This popped up on my stumbleupon and I think it directly relates to the topic of this book: http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/9KWSfD/www.kimberlysnyder.net/blog/2011/09/26/the-american-diet-and-whats-wrong-with-it/
