In fact, I've started growing quite a few things (food-wise) here - definitely local :) I agree. In fact, I’ve started growing quite a few things (food-wise) here - definitely local :)

Not only do we grow some of our own veggies (in pots on our deck- so I know anyone can do it) but I bike to the local farmers market as often as possible. Good quality food, good people and good prices. Great combination! Good reminder and suggestion Rob! I love local!

In my opinion cheaper will always win. Besides I live in Canada and don't intend to stop drinking my citrus drinks just becaus emy climate is Sub-arctic. <a href="http://walrusmagazine.com/articles/2007.09.26-alphabet-city-discussion-two-eat-local/" rel="nofollow">The Walrus mag</a> has been hashing this out too at http://walrusmagazine.com/articles/2007.09.26-alphabet-city-discussion-two-eat-local/ So is eating local just a buzzword - or does it actually mean something?

With things like the citrus drinks, if there are only imports available, buy them (although where possible, reach for those from Florida before those from Brazil). When it comes to other types of foods, there are a few things that almost everyone can grow themselves. Something as simple as growing some of your own vegetables (either indoors or outdoors) can make an enormous difference in the long-run. Hi Pat,
