I shouldn't think he did, the General Secretary answered.

The whole thing's too ridiculous.... But what the devil can it be they've got hold of? Tell me all about it again."

Cheese Trekking recounts the author’s experiences visiting pastoral communities and cheesemakers in various countries and explains how cheeses can be local manifestations while also representing global archetypes, strategies that have been adopted in many places. It describes the constellations (a range of complementary milk foods that utilize all byproducts of cheesemaking) of various regions through a wide-angle lens. The central premise is that milk has a terroir, born from the plants and ecology of a landscape, that is concentrated via ruminant digestion and lactation and carries through the barns and milk sheds to be steered by human hands and cultural practices into foods. There is a growing international movement to return to the roots of natural cheesemaking, at the core of which is a philosophy of working with rather than against microbes and nature; the sacredness of motherhood, milk, and life itself; and the ethics involved in dairying, given its intimate involvement with the killing, and eating of livestock. It offers firsthand evidence that humans can be stewards of landscapes, shepherds of microbes, and keepers of genetic wealth in the form of heritage livestock breeds, while crafting delicious, safe, nutrient-dense milk foods.Ver libro

It was there that she gained an initial understanding of the importance of ethics and values, justice and equality, and caring for humanity in fostering a good society. Her life experiences, during some very turbulent periods in an ever-evolving America, have profoundly shaped her work and writings — providing the grist, mission, authority, and authenticity required to become one’s best self. As life has had its way, she has loved and lost, given birth and reared children alone as a divorcee, weathered verbal and physical abuse, had trail-blazing successes as an executive in corporate business and municipal government, and recovered from a colossal failure as a small business owner. All — while navigating American life, as a Black, as a woman, and forever fighting against allowing either of those indelible birthmarks to define or confine her. As circumstances, issues, and forces — social, political, economic — occur all around her, and push against her, she has chosen to push back. She has consciously entered and continues to enter the fray. May you, as you learn of her trials and triumphs, be inspired to live your best self, too.
