become a locavore

Being local ain’t easy when you’re living in an area where being healthy isn’t a big priority. I’ve started growing my own vegetables and herbs. This is not an easy task for an impatient person such as myself. However, I am enjoying micro greens – LOL!!

What is acceptable as a locavore? Is it 25 miles? 100 miles? 200 miles? I’ve heard many definitions there. Also, what if it’s grown locally but produced with chemicals? This isn’t a great option either. I would like to move to the Mediterranean. I believe many of the peoples in these areas eat mostly locally which is why they are so much healthier than people in the US. I’ve gone all organic as of 02/01/08 and it has been completely worth it.
