The Kingsolver Challenge

          Fast food is one of America’s greatest pride and joys. Growing up in a family that goes on many road trips has meant a lot quick drive-thru stops for cheap meals. Whether we were traveling for sports or for simple vacations, we always manage to make many fast food stops. After learning about the Kingsolver family and how they lived off food from their own gardens or local farmer’s market has really made me question my love for fast food. Yes, it is delicious, but not knowing where the food truly came from is a huge turn off. The Kingsolver’s challenge would be very difficult, maybe even impossible, for my family. We are always on the go for either Ryan’s, my twin brother, sports or my cross country meets. However, I am now going to commit to being more careful about my eating habits. The Kingsolvers are very inspiring and great role models for keeping the American tradition of farming alive.
