Last night, I had a very international dinner. This wasn't due to the flavors, but due to the source of the ingredients. The risotto we ate was Italian. The salmon was Norwegian. The tomatoes in the salad were from Holland. All of these products were from Trader Joe's. I wish supermarkets would make a more concerted effort to only sell domestic products, and emphasize local products. The problem is that consumers don't realize that there are seasons, and that they (should) affect the availability of certain foods. If we can't grow items locally, then don't stock them. It seems fairly simple to me.
The only thing produced locally last night was my sarcasm.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteSeeing that you’re a green advocate (and blogger) I wanted to reach out and see if you were interested in an article that I recently have written. It's on the Olympics and the steps they're taking to go green and decrease the environmental impact that it has. While sports is something far from the topic of your blog, I think that you will find it interesting and informative, and not overwhelming on the sports content, besides a few facts on the last Olympics, it is primarily about the Olympics going Green.
I'm looking to spread awareness of the fact that even though the Olympic Games are fantastic and unifying, they are it's quite a carbon-rich event and are not that environmentally sound.
