Folks, This Ain't Normal by Joel Salatin

I have finished reading the new Joel Salatin book over Thanksgiving vacation and recommend it to those who are interested in knowing where there food comes from and want to make better decision about where they are getting their food.


Joel Salatin sheds some light on how over-regulation by the government has actually made our food choices worse over time rather than better.  They subsidize crops which have encouraged over-production of a small selection of foods which have created surpluses.  These surpluses have to find their place which lead to the creation of things such as high fructose corn syrup and grain fed rather than grass fed cattle. If you want to know what this has led to...read the book.


Joel can sometimes go off on a point that can seem like a rant and it probably is.  Get through the passion and learn about what your choices are to become a healthier person by making healthy food choices.


You will be encouraged to shop your local growers, cook your own food, and spend a little less time doing mindless activities and more time being productive with your time.  


Don't just take my word for it, read it.  If my close friends and neighbors want to borrow my copy, you are more than welcome.  I also encourage you to watch some Youtube clips of Joel Salatin to get a feel for the kind of man he is and the type of farm he runs.

Reading this or watching a few clips may also give you a little insight into the kind of person I am as well.  Have fun!
