Cattails can be found throughout the world and are some of the most useful plants in the wild. In fact, some people even refer to the cattail as the “Wal-Mart of the swamp” because you can eat parts of the plant, use its pollen as flour, create an anesthetic from it and even wave baskets from its leaves.

I just finished this book by Rachel Kaplan and let me tell you it is the most informative book about growing vegetables, raising animals, to processing food.  It gives you the real facts of starting a garden and how much work it will be.  The same is true with raising animals she goes in depth about the hard work it is to raise animals and then ultimately killing them for your dinner table.  I highly suggest picking this book up if you are considering starting a garden or thinking about raising animals.

For all of you that haven’t seen many of the recent food documentaries released in the past year here’s a little run down of them through The Wall Street Journals eye’s.
