Reviews

Going beyond simply eating local and seasonally, jae steele tackles the largest issue: food production. Plants require less energy to produce, yet yield significantly more nutrients than animal options, making a plant-based diet an important choice. If all of us in the western world implemented the ideas in "Ripe from around Here", there would be a global decline in disease, obesity, and dependence on fossil fuel. Climate change would slow; our economy would see a resurgence. Bold statements, I realize, but I don't hesitate to make them. When applied, the information in this book will prove to be the best thing you can do for personal and environmental health.
