really liked it

This book is fascinating. It takes something that we think is very simple (refrigeration) provides a historical, environmental, and political understanding of its significance. So many things in this book made me really think.

My wife and I grow quite a bit of our own food. Personally, I think more people need to get into gardening in whatever, space they have. It may be the only thing that saves us ;-).

I thought the book was well written and used narrative to support the ideas. Lots of great stories. Tons of little tidbits of interesting information that I had never thought about. For example, she writes about European cities that regulate the size of at home refrigerators. This is done so people do not over Shop. This supports the local community. Small refrigerators, make good cities and good cities require only small refrigerators. Shop local!

After reading this book, I feel like I have a real understanding of the evolution of farming and how we feed the citizens of our world. The cold chain is quite fragile and quite young. I look forward to seeing how it evolves.
