Why Eat Locally?

The news today is that you should try the 100-Mile Diet. It's good not only for the local economy of farmers and producers but teaches you how to eat with the seasons.  During the winter months, instead of eating a peach from the other side of the world, try eating possibly grapes or apples that you can get at your local green market.  From the farmer to you will increase your chance of eating fewer preservatives.
