Harvest for Hope (Abridged): A Guide to Mindful Eating Audiobook

" This was a good book but towards the end got repetitive. I will definitely be changing some of my eating habits in regards to this. Choosing more organic and humane foods. "

" This book reminds me of another I read concerning the way we raise food and treat the animals we harvest. It was Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollen. The whole thing is pretty disturbing but probably very important information. "

" I love Jane Goodall's positive and hopeful perspective, while also being realistic and honest about the dire situation of the environment and the effects of our eating habits on ecosystems and living beings, both humans and non-human. Most of what she discusses I have already read about, and at this point her book is a bit outdated, but her style makes this a great book for anyone who is new to this topic. "

" When I grow up I want to be Jane Goodal. "

" preachy! "

" After reading this book I decided to become a vegetarian. Jane Goodall delves into the world of food and farming; not only to show you where food comes from but the differences in safe, sustainable farming and the methods used by corporate farms. "

" It was a pleasure to read some personal information about Goodall, having first "met" her through her academic writings when I was a student of anthropology in the '60s. "

" Listened to the sublime Ms. Goodall narrate this book on tape. A very simple and stirring overview of global food markets. A plantive call for attention to the true price of consumption with reasonable suggestions for the consumer/eater. "

" This was a great book for me. I've been interested in being kind to our planet and its inhabitants since I can remember. A good read for those who are interested in organic and humane ways of living. "

" A great explanation of what our indulgent eating habits are doing to the earth and lots of good advice of how to remedy the situation. I would recomemend it to anyone who eats. "

" Good insight on healthy eating. Highly recommend it! "

" I would have rated this book much higher had there been a Works Cited / bibliography. "

" Great book! Very easy to read. Jane Goodall talks about taking a mindful approach to where, why, how, what on how our food is being produced. She has great resources that back up her thoughts and concerns. I became a peso-vegetarian after reading this book. "

" Really enjoyed this book, particularly the first hand accounts of living in very poor countries and what problems the food supply industrialization has caused. "

" I learned so much from this book and loved until about 3/4 of the way through! Toward the end it got a little too intense for me, although I'd sure she's right... "

" I've just added $100 a week to my grocery bill! This book makes a great arguement for eating vegetarian, organic and local. There are no new arguements here but it is a good reminder on the importance of eating well. "

" Not as carefully written as her previous books, but still very well-researched and worth the read. I learned a lot. "

" Incredible look at just how screwed up our food system actually is....Inspired me to continue my quest to become a mindful eater, a locavore, and more.... "

" Just getting into this book and really liking it. Ms. Goodall knows her stuff. Her observations (IMHO) are right-on. "

" I think I knew most of the things in this book, but I've never had them presented so clearly to me before. This book has convinced me to make some changes in my eating and purchasing habits. "

" Goodall's compassion for the environment, humanity, and animals comes through in this guide to mindful eating. A very easy read that touches on environmental issues with grace and empathy. "

" I love Jane Goodall! "

" Amazing, fully informative, with ideas on what you can do to improve things so you're not left feeling completely disheartened. "

" A little disappointing. I admire her integrity and her choices, but didn't feel that she was enough of an authority on the topic to write a complete text. I would have liked more depth, less breadth and personal anecdotes. "

" It's like a watered-down version of "The Omnivores Dilemma". She gives a lot of her emotion to it, but a lot of the science feels second- if not third-hand. Good intro to getting people thinking about where their food comes from, though. "

" Really enjoyed this book, particularly the first hand accounts of living in very poor countries and what problems the food supply industrialization has caused. "

" Though I was already vegetarian before reading this book, have to say that Jane Goodall's narrative gave me plenty more insights to 'chew on.' "

" INformative Book about different foods. All about foods Amish Culture, Famine, seeds, farms, global farming, veg . Back to organic farming how we are stripping our land. Nebraska "

" I would have rated this book much higher had there been a Works Cited / bibliography. "

" When I grow up I want to be Jane Goodal. "

" While I agree with her conclusions, I was upset by her reporting. She seemed to either misunderstand some of the science surrounding genetically modified foods-- or to be presenting partial truths to make a more convincing argument... "
