I was asked by the local paper for a quote about the
importance of eating locally. Here's what I wrote:
A robin eats worms in the spring, because it needs the protein to lay eggs and raise chicks. A robin eats fruit in the summer, because food is abundant and carbohydrates are lightweight energy. And a robin eats seeds and nuts in the fall, to store fats for the long flight south. In the same way, it is important for people to vary their diet throughout the year to remain healthy. Eating locally does that. It keeps you in touch with the cycle of nature wherever you live.
