Finding Your Inner Locavore
|
|
|
During
the summer months people emerge from their homes in search of fresh air
and local organic foods—and what better way to get both than at your
neighborhood farmers' market? Not only will you reap the many rewards of
walking around in the outdoors, but the market will provide local produce, fresh flowers, music, meat, and dairy products.

Eating in Season for Health, Quality and Cost
|
|
|
Foods
eaten in season contain peak nutrients and generally put less of a dent
in your budget than if purchased out of season. Whether you want to
grow your own fresh produce in your backyard, stop by a farmers market,
or shop at your local grocery or co-op, the following hints and tips
lead you to the freshest produce and where to find it. Summer—for
most of us it's the season of fun, a time to get out of our homes and
enjoy the sunlight. In addition to the bright summer days, many
delicious and unique foods are in season.

Fresh Food at Affordable Prices
|
|
|
In
today's society, it's more common to wait in line for 15 minutes at a
fast-food drive-thru than it is to take a walk to a nearby farmer's
market for fresh fruits and vegetables. American culture is obsessed
with cheap and convenient foods instead of nutritious staples the body
needs to run efficiently. Scarier still is that by 2020, statistics show
that three out of four Americans will be overweight. The question is
not just why do we act in such a self-destructive manner, but how do we
end this epidemic? How programs like Wholesome Wave are getting fresh food to all.

City Farmer's Markets
|
|
|
When
summer begins, urban farmers markets start to pop up everywhere in
cities such as New York, Minneapolis, and Los Angeles. Many city
dwellers, having moved away from megastores closely identified with
smaller towns, now realize the importance of eating locally.
"Locavores," as they are lovingly known, pride themselves in growth of
this farm-to-fork movement, and hang their health on the shelf of eating
greener, and thus, healthier. Don't think this is just another hipster
trend, though. Individuals consider it going back to their "dietary" roots.
