Consumers are increasingly being encouraged to purchase and eat more locally grown foods. Concerns about sustainability practices, energy costs, and food safety have contributed significantly to this recent movement. Produce grown within a 100 mile radius retains more of its nutrients and is often more affordable. Eating locally also supports the farmers and has onomic benefits for communities.
Think About This:
In what ways does the MyPlate nutrition guide support this trend
What key recommendations in the Dietary Guidelines for Healthy Americans would be reinforced by eating locally
How might this trend contribute to lower obesity rates and improve children's intake of vitamins A and C
