Focusing on the “Is local food the same as sustainable food?”
section of this article, we may not realize that when food labels say they’re healthy
and locally grown, they’re really not. Some food labels now use words “local”
in place of “sustainable”, but reading this article, we learn that “sustainable”
is not always locally grown. So, if you’re looking for something grown close by
which will give you fresher, healthier food, make sure you check where it was
actually grown.

That is some great advice! We really dont know where are food is REALLY coming from!!
ReplyDeleteThat is really interesting and pretty worrying that companies are claiming food is locally grown when it really isn't. Do they now define "local" as grown in the US? Overall well done brief summary.
