Good Excuse for a Study Break
How do you describe sustainability to your friends? What does the perfect food system look like to you? How do you create a healthier community through food? We have been talking a lot lately about knowing where your food comes from; and understanding your purchasing power when buying locally and its affect on the community around you. Eating healthier, fresh foods not only benefit your own mind and body, but it helps local growers, and supports a sustainable system of food production. Everyone should have access to fresh food, and it should not be considered a luxury or thought of as an elitist pursuit. Universal access is one goal that unites food activists, nutritional professionals, and foodies like ourselves as we look to the future of America’s food system. Tell us your opinions – How can more people get involved in the Good, Clean, and Fair -food community?
