520    Taking the locavore movement to heart, bestselling 
       coauthor and social innovator Vicki Robin pledged for one 
       month to eat only food sourced within a ten-mile radius of
       her home on Whidbey Island in Puget Sound, Washington. Her
       sustainable diet not only brings to light society's 
       unhealthy dependency on mass-produced, prepackaged foods 
       but also helps her reconnect with her body and her 
       environment. Like Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, 
       Miracle and the bestselling books of Michael Pollan, 
       Blessing the Hands That Feed Us is part personal narrative
       and part global manifesto. By challenging herself to eat 
       and buy local, Robin exposes the cause and effect of the 
       food business, from the processed goods laden with sugar, 
       fat, and preservatives to the trucks burning through fuel 
       to bring them to a shelf near you. Robin's journey is also
       one of community as she befriends all the neighboring 
       farmers who epitomize the sustainable lifestyle. Among 
       them are Tricia, the prolific market gardener who issued 
       Robin's ten-mile challenge; Britt and Eric, two young, 
       enthusiastic farmers living their dream of self-
       sufficiency; and Vicky, a former corporate executive 
       turned milk producer. Featuring practical tips on adopting
       your own locally sourced diet, Blessing the Hands That 
       Feed Us is an inspirational guide and testimonial to the 
       locavore movement and a healthy food future.
