There are a number of ways that the foods you eat can be positive for the environment, for livestock, for your health, and even sometimes for your wallet. Eating locally means your food travels less distance, and is often fresher and tastier.

    • i found localharvest.org through this article and it's been tremendously helpful. now i have no excuse to not know what is local, in season, good for farmers and the world, and convenient.

    • Planting your own stuff is a lot of work. A lot... my parents did it for a long time out of hobby. Wish I could do that.

      Some of the large grocery stores are actually advertising "Local" though. "We support our local farmers!" kinda stuff. Good to see... especally since the oranges were still the same price.

    • My buddy is a locavore - he doesn't really care about organic or vegetarian...as long as its being grown or raised within 50miles of his house...pretty rad

    • It's so easy to forget how much labor, travel, waste, etc is put into something like an apple. Thanks for putting things into perspective for me :)
