Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal: War Stories from the Local Food Front

The farm produces pastured beef, pork, chicken, eggs, turkeys, rabbits, lamb and ducks, servicing roughly 6,000 families and 50 restaurants in the farm’s bioregion. He has written 11 books to date and lectures around the world on land healing, local food systems.. About the AuthorJoel Salatin and his family own and operate Polyface Farm in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley

Salatin's expert insight explains why local food is expensive and difficult to find and will illuminate for the reader a deeper understanding of the industrial food complex.. From child labor regulations to food inspection, bureaucrats provide themselves sole discretion over what food is available in the local marketplace. Drawing upon 40 years' experience as an ecological farmer and marketer, Joel Salatin explains with humor and passion why Americans do not have the freedom to choose the food they purchase and eat. Their system favors industrial, global corporate food systems and discourages community-based food commerce, resulting in homogenized selection, mediocre quality, and exposure to non-organic farming practices

Todd Latiolais said Great Read For People Wanting to Farm Sustainably. I really love this family's work. They have a ton of know how that can only be acquired by being the hardworking, God-fearing, non-partisan people they are. I love that the author is really walking the walk by spending so much of his time helping others start up and spreading the word through the books, youtube, site and lectures. I know that they get paid from the books and I am sure from the lectures too but you can let it isn't a money thing. They clearly could be a huge national operation if that was their goal but it's not. T. Illegal can be very good This book is rapidly circulating around our family. It is very funny and very very maddening. I love Mr. Salatin's clear, logical thinking about ways to produce healthy, tasty farm products without messing up our environment with chemicals, manipulatig DNA, no importing off exotic plants and animals, and so on and on. Nobody agrees with everything someone else says, but this is a fascinating, highly ntelligent man whose words are well worth reading and implementing if you are so inclined.. "Great read on food and other craziness!" according to itsnickers. This book is awesome and an easy read too! Many topics that provide information, various viewpoints, 'food' for thought, and laughter too. Wish Joel would run for president.
