Some of our favorite products to consume are the products that we put in to our mouths--food! Yet, like much of the stuff that we consume, we don't really know where it's been. Worldwatch Institute has a neat little piece that tells us how to keep it real when it comes to good eats.
Here's a taste:
Eating local keeps money in the local economy, helps preserve farmland, and usually means tastier food. In the midst of food safety crises, eating local also brings a certain peace of mind because the shopper can get much more information about what they are actually buying.

Buying locally also benefits the environment, in that a lot less energy is used to transport produce locally (as opposed to that fruit that just traveled from Argentina to London).
We like to go with the kids to a local u-pick farm in NJ. The vegetables are 1/3 to 1/2 the price of what's in the grocery, plus it's super-fresh. It sure beats going to the local mall, and the kids love it!
