Okay, I answered Nick privately with a non-PC answer, so I may as well
'fess up to the whole group. I am perfectly willing to pay whatever it
costs to fly in sweet green produce from better climates. Sorry to be
such a spoiled brat.

Pamela,
have never eaten a rutabaga. I have stood at the produce in Whole
Foods and admired their fortitude, but i have actually never even
knowingly MET a person who has consmued a rutabaga.
Are you prepared to introduce me to rutabaga's. A way of cooking
them that makes them taste like pancakes with maple syrup, perhaps.

All good reasons to eat local. But I remind you all that in some
parts of the country, "eating local" would reduce us to rutabagas
for most months of the winter. I wouldn't like that, and neither
would my body.

Bringing food local reduces transportation costs, cuts carbon

Makes me realize it is time to get out there myself (at least pretty
soon!) Peggy
