Root Cause

When Bruce Dinkle Takes Up The Cause Of Eating Only Local Food His Zeal Badly Exceeds His Judgment. After Alienating His Family By Enforcing A Strict Locavore And Urban Agriculturist Lifestyle He Abandons Them By Bicycle On A Quixotic Quest To Learn Where Food Comes From. He Quickly Becomes Enmeshed In A Small Michigan Farming Community Where He Goes To Work For A Large Crop Farmer Meets A Sagacious Veterinarian And Falls For A Randy Goat Lady All Part Of A Sprawling Cast Of Characters Who Enliven This Often Hilarious Mix Of Food Family Sex And A Little Violence Down On The Farm. Think Michael Pollan Meets James Herriot And Carl Hiaasen.--P. [4] Of Cover.
