Have Fun and Save the Planet

Here in California, most folks know that our planet needs our help right now, but we often feel uncertain about what to do, where to make an effort, and what will really help. The beneficial news is that we can heal the planet on a daily basis simply by buying and eating food that is grown locally. Food that has been shipped long distances doesn’t contain much life force by the time it gets to your kitchen. Making a pledge to shop, buy, and eat locally is not only a very important part of creating positive change, it can also be delicious fun. 

One of the best places to begin the adventure of eating locally is a farmer’s market. Stalls brim with fresh fruits and vegetables grown on nearby farms. Not only is this good for the environment, it’s good for the farmers since they benefit from selling directly to the consumer. The consumer payback, too, from the personal experience of buying food from the hand of the person who grew it. In addition, the food is fresher and more diverse. In supermarkets, particular varieties of fruits and vegetables are favored due to their ability to survive transport to a far destination. Alternately, at a farmer’s market, you will find versions of the fruits and vegetables you know that will surprise and enjoyment your senses—green striped heirloom tomatoes, purple cauliflower, white carrots, and edible flowers, just to name a few.

Make an attempt to buy as much of your food as possible completely from local farmers. You will become one of a growing number of people eating scrumptious food to save the planet and having fun doing it.

Eating locally grown food as much as possible is paramount for your body as its life-force is stronger from being fresh.
