Essay Topics
Kingsolver and her family live on a farm and are comfortable financially, which they do acknowledge. Do you think Kingsolver includes enough actionable advice for the average working-class American to become a devoted locavore? Why or why not? If not, what has she failed to consider?
Will you become a locavore after reading this book? Why or why not? What would induce you to try the same experiment?
Kingsolver admits that the family didn’t go totally local: They still buy things like coffee and olive oil. Do you think this hurts her argument at all? Why or why not? Do you think they should have cut out all non-local foods?
