You got that right..it's brilliant. I am going to forward this on to some other lists because there is an almost obsessiveness, perhaps especially among climate activists, that you've got to buy local.
I just finished a book?called Eat To Live by? Dr. Joel Fuhrman who advocates a plant-based diet (with some allowances for individual needs) and who says it's exactly the rich diversity?of foods availale that make a high quality?lifetime vegan diet possible. ?I know I for one need citrus fruits to help my allergies and clean out my respiratory system. I am trying to transition to a vegan diet (which is a real challenge for me given my background and family food preferences) and I will be relying a great deal on the information and advice from Dr Fuhrman and also Dr. Neal Barnard, Breaking The Food Seduction, which I am currently reading. Both of them speak the wide variety of foods available and the advantages?of that in?changing your life to make healthy?food choices.? I had read a little bit before about the idea that reducing food's carbon imprint involves alot more than just food miles traveled. This article really brings it into focus. Thank You!!
