Food sovereignty goes beyond addressing the need to secure a daily food source. Food sovereignty means having the right to determine where your food comes from and how it is produced. In 2008, alarmed by the impact agro-business was having on Canadian food quality and security, Kristeva Dowling decided to take control of her own food source.

Very often, philosophy seems so cold and abstract; almost inhuman. Colin McGinn may be "famous" but he's not too famous outside of academia. For example, the author goes from the homerun chase in 1938 to a quick summary of the 1940 season, skipping the year 1939 altogether. Mickey Cochrane, the Hall of Fame catcher and manager of the Detroit Tigers in the mid-1930s, is not even mentioned in the book. The focus on biodiversity, sea vegetables and starting a project is inspiring. To his credit, he does a good job of highlighting the good and the bad, but you finish this book with a sense that McGinn has left out many, many important details about his life. When Hank
