I’m almost done reading Coming home to Eat and my thoughts about this book is that the message that the author Nabhan is getting across is very powerful. He doesn’t tend to preach that everyone should eat locally or produce there own food, but he does send this message that really impacted me about how people have forgotten to use the land, and how everything today we eat is almost toxic to us. In my thoughts I wish that I could grow a garden or eat strictly locally, but it’s hard to find time as student and working full time. I know its not a excuse , but this book made me realize that maybe I could start small by going to the local farmers market at least once of week. I wanted to know abut people thoughts about this book and if anyone takes place in slow food movement or eating locally?

Coming Home to Eat is readable and has some good points, but I'm not ready to join that lifestyle. Work and school make it hard to live like that. If you want to ease your conscience, according to David Victor, director of the Program on Energy and Sustainable Development at Stanford University, eating locally isn't such a great way to save the environment.
