She uncovers tensions and complications for those seeking to draw together food justice and religion, but she also reveals how notions of the sacred emerge in relation to land, food, and the human body.\"--Gretel A.

These concerns extend beyond what one should eat to include how food should be prepared and produced. As Adrienne Krone demonstrates in this ethnographic study, participants in alternative food movements are developing new ways to see food preparation and production as religious acts. Following two Christian and two Jewish food organizations, Krone complicates our understanding of American religion as religious people come together across a range of differences to change the food system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFree-Range Religion\u003c\/i\u003e showcases the complex ways that religion lives and works within food production, marketing, and distribution.
