What’s your
New Years resolution? My New Years (new decade!) resolution is to buy more local foods. Local foods support the local economy, save transportation pollution and are fresher – therefore tastier and more nutritious. If you haven’t seen the movie “Food Inc” I would recommend watching it. It definitely provides some stories that will inspire you to also choose more local or organic food producers!
While living in Calgary, I certainly don’t have the option to buy fresh local produce like Californians. But we do have local greenhouses. And access to local farms through the Farmers Market and spud! Spud is a grocery delivery service that provides local, organic foods, and is the only carbon neutral grocery in North America. If you want to try it out, we both get freebies if you use the code: CR5-308878
Many small, local farms are also organic. Organic farming practices are healthier for the environment, and therefore better for the world our children will grow up in. However, I think a lot of people get mislead into thinking that organic is automatically healthier, and that’s not necessarily the case. Read my blog “Organic Food – Is it Healthier” below for more info.
Happy New Year! And if your resolution has to do with nutrition…..give me a call!!
