À propos de cet audio

 Virginia farmer Joel Salatin, who has been offered a prominent role in President Trump's Department of Agriculture, has become the new voice of clean, local, healthy eating.

From Salatin's point of view, life in the 21st century just ain't normal. In FOLKS, THIS AIN'T NORMAL, he discusses how far removed we are from the simple, sustainable joy that comes from living close to the land and the people we love. Salatin has many thoughts on what normal is and shares practical and philosophical ideas for changing our lives in small ways that have big impact. Salatin urges people to take a better look at their food: What's in it, where is it coming from and how did it get the table?

Salatin, hailed by the New York Times as "Virginia's most multifaceted agrarian since Thomas Jefferson [and] the high priest of the pasture" and profiled in the Academy Award nominated documentary Food, Inc. and the bestselling book The Omnivore's Dilemma, understands what food should be: Wholesome, seasonal, raised naturally, procured locally, prepared lovingly, and eaten with a profound reverence for the circle of life. And his message doesn't stop there. From child-rearing, to creating quality family time, to respecting the environment, Salatin writes with a wicked sense of humor and true storyteller's knack for the revealing anecdote.

Salatin's crucial message and distinctive voice--practical, provocative, scientific, and down-home philosophical in equal measure--make FOLKS, THIS AIN'T NORMAL a must-read book.

A captivating book and an easy listen.
This book challenges a lot of very controversial food issues and sheds light on the darkness of the big food industry and the government’s over scrupulous control on the small business

A refreshing change in perspective

The author, Joel Salatin, really surprised me. I went into this book expecting to disagree with at least 50% of it, but to be honest I’m now experiencing a bit of a paradigm shift which is really quite uncommon for a single book to do that. This book should really be required reading for everybody who lives in a westernized society; Canada, United States of America, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom for example. I will never look at the food I eat the same way again.

Shocking and unfortunately very accurate!

This book opened my eyes to the world of small scale, local farming and eating practices. Salatin makes a strong case for why North America (he writes about the US but a lot of this can apply to Canada as well) needs to change the way we address our food consumption, the environment and laws. I don’t agree with everything he says in the book but that’s not necessary to have have learned so much from it. Another copy will be a gift for some friends and family here soon because I believe it should be in everyone’s “must read” list. I have mad respect for Mr Salatin, I wish his farm and family prosperity and much happiness.

Paradigm shifting

II have listened to dozens of audio books this year but this is the first time I felt inspired to write a review. I smiled to myself a hundred times and felt inspired, renewed and even hopeful about the future. Joel Salatin does a fantastic job balancing the absurdity and apparent futility of the world we live in with common sense, workable steps we can all take to turn things around. I love this book and I’ll so glad I found it and had the opportunity to learn from Joel. I will be sharing this with everyone I know and love in the hope that it continues to help generate the ripples of sensible solutions we need to make a better world!

So refreshingly full of what feels like long forgotten common sense.
