why local foods are better for you
With it being earth day and all i thought this blog was quite useful. Organic foods are generally healthier for the planet except when they're shipped miles away from where they came from. The best way to eat , save the earth,and get better tasting food in the process is to look locally.
The rule is to look for foods grown within 100 miles of you or less. If you can lessen the distance your fruits and veggies have to travel, then you're increasing jobs, protecting the environment (less travel means less carbon emissions), and helping the community. When you eat local food you're not only helping the environment but are helping your diet as well .
local farmers pick their produce when it is just ripe, making sure that you get the best food possible. Also nobody's growing local junk food so relying on local organic food helps get unhealthy snack foods out of your diet.

I love organic food! It’s so good for you I try to eat it as much as I can instead of just food. I take care of my body a lot and I eat organic food to do that. I try my best to look for the best that is out there for my body to keep it strong and healthy. I always eat fruits and I try my best to eat veggies as well. I love food and I try to eat as healthy as I can to enjoy food but also be healthy.
