There's much too that.  Or perhaps if it were promoted by Agelina Jolie or 
Johnny Depp (who is also from Kentucky).  But I'm guessing that the most 
successful promoter of local foods is going to be grim necessity.  When that 
bowl of 
summer salad gets to be $12 due to the price of fuel and fertilizer and the 
declining dollar, that space between the carport and the curb will begin to 
look 
mighty like a garden spot.

Another 'eat local' book very much along the lines of Kingsolver's is Gary 
Nabhan's  "Coming Home to Eat."  He's not a novelist so his book is not 
nearly 
so widely known.  He is the founder of Native Seed Exchange.
