Eat local. Eat organic.
Food for Thought, an amazing company located in Honor, Michigan (about ten miles south of my mother's house) posted a link today on Facebook to a really fantastic article on the carbon impact of the food we eat, along with some not-always-discussed factors and variables on the subject. For instance, is it better to eat a locally grown hothouse tomato or one that's field-grown a thousand miles away? Somewhat surprisingly, the energy consumed in heating a greenhouse in a northern climate might well exceed the energy consumed in transporting one from a field.
The article is here for your enjoyment and pleasure. Happy reading!
