Check out the
trailer for "Locavore", it's 'a tasty new documentary about returning home to our food supply'.
Locavore is an inspiring new documentary about the inevitable return to the local diet. Less than a generation ago human beings worldwide traveled less than 10 miles to obtain the majority of the food they ate. Today the average conventionally grown vegetable has traveled more than 1500 by the time it has reached your pantry. Our food today is over processed, stale, and lacks nutrition. This new film, featuring some of the neo-pioneers of the Locavore movement will educate, inspire, and revitalize bringing health to our bodies AND our communities.
Whether you believe in food miles or not, eating local still has benefits for you:
- enjoy fresher/tastier produce
- get to know the grower and ask questions
- money you spend stays in your community
- a farmer that feeds his product to his family is interested in quality and nutrition (you will notice that many local products are natural or organic, and have little to no additives or preservatives)
Source some farmers today or join WECSA and grow your own food. It's important to know where your food comes from!
