Why Eat Local?

Hosted by Laura Lewis

Great chefs like Alice Waters continue to champion the importance of buying and eating local. Why? The benefits are endless. First of all, local produce is often cheaper, as the growers and farmers avoid packing and shipping costs, and often pass those savings to the customers. Second, you’re eating fresh, which means eating healthy: Imagine grilling up corn that was picked that morning! Finally, seasonal eating is good for the environment. Find out about local community supported agriculture, and make a visit to a nearby farmer’s market part of your weekly routine!
