Eat Local

Visited the Durham Farmers' Market this morning. There are quite a few organic farmers there, unlike the NC Farmers' Market in Raleigh. Strawberries had already sold out by the time we reached the front of the line! All the produce looked wonderful; lots of color!
FYI... the average U.S. meal travels 1200 miles to your kitchen. Buying locally grown food reduces the amount of fuel used to get the food to you, thereby reducing CO2 emissions & air pollution. Check www.usda.gov for a list of farmers' markets in your area.
Also, check www.MotherEarthNews.com for other great info......it's one of my favorite magazines.
