Camas Davis was at an unhappy crossroads. A longtime magazine writer and editor in the food world, she'd returned to her home state of Oregon with her boyfriend from New York City to take an appealing job at a Portland lifestyle magazine. But neither job nor boyfriend delivered on her dreams, and in the span of a year, Davis was unemployed and on her own. Disillusioned by the years she’d spent mediating the lives of others for a living, she had no idea what to do next. She did know one thing: She no longer wanted to write about the real thing; she wanted to be the real thing.

Transparent, authentic, connecting
Revisado: 08-10-18
How can this is all be so remarkable, yet so obvious and common place? Here is a beautifully written memoir and account of a movement basically started in Portland (not the only or first), amidst swirling taboos, prejudices, moral panic, and spectacle. Camas and her colleagues confront ignorance and dogma formed of shallow food awareness and a nearly culture wide denial of our most common food systems. It's disheartening to see how easily and predictably people misunderstand each other; how seemingly easy it could be to bridge the entrenched. In pursuit of authenticity, she shows readers how critical it can be to hold conflicting ideas together; how limiting it can be to seek binary, tidy narratives. Here are some very dark social/economic shadows, disillusionment...then a potential for rebirth, empowerment, and healing. I so hope that people read this book!

Faced with the ceaseless stream of news about war, crime, and terrorism, one could easily think we live in the most violent age ever seen. Yet as New York Times bestselling author Steven Pinker shows in this startling and engaging new work, just the opposite is true: violence has been diminishing for millennia and we may be living in the most peaceful time in our species's existence.

I don’t know what else to say except that the breadth and depth of this enquiry is remarkable. I’m recommending it to most who will listen.
