5 MINUTES OF CARING
FRIDAY, SEPT. 29, 2006 Buy Local FoodShorten the distance between their fields and your stomach.
In the United States, the average meal travels 1,500 miles before it reaches the dinner table. That's a longer drive than New York City to Miami Beach. And what happens to your food along the way? It loses freshness and nutrients; the container it travels in is costly to produce and maintain; the vehicle transporting the container is spitting out pollutants to darken the sky. All this for your pigs in a blanket. We know you love Kroger, but patronizing the local farmer’s market will keep your money closer to home, and helps to save our country’s disappearing farmland. |
