This Month's Read: EATING TO EXTINCTION, by Dan Saladino

“Of the roughly six thousand different plants once consumed by human beings, only nine remain major staples today.” This book describes what has been lost and how, and why this is a concern for our long-term survival. The author explains why we need to reintroduce more foods (and flavors) from a variety of sources into our diets for the health of humans and the planet as a whole.
