Beastmomma, I wish AVM was about how to save time & money — if anything, it seems to be all about the opposite. :-P

Terri, thanks for that link; I’ll check it out.

Swapna, I seem to have ground to a hopefully-temporary halt with that one. I’ll keep you posted though, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on it if you get to read it.

Diana, neither would mine. Not in a million years. I laughed out loud when Kingsolver’s older daughter chose “dried fruit” as her exception. No, I don’t live on her planet either.

“Rebuked” is a great description! I also felt inadequate because my kids would NOT be willing and enthusiastic participants in such an endeavor. I laughed out loud at the part where the daughter’s friend, inspired by the family’s refusal to buy bananas, goes on to major in banana-rejecting or whatever. Given the same scenario, my kids’ friends would be making fun of me. Of course, my kids’ friends would never ask for a piece of fruit to begin with so I am reminded again that I simply don’t live on her planet.

I really want to read The Game of Kings – I’m eager to see what you think!

I can’t wait to talk about AVM tomorrow. If you want a great website (although a bit klunky to navigate) to find local food try http://www.localharvest.org You enter your zip code and can find all kinds of local farmers, produce and farmer’s markets around you. It is in the back of the book, but thought you might want to check it out.
