Food

The food you choose to eat can not only improve the health of your body but the health of your environment as well. How can you make great food choices? Think 5Ns – near, now, natural, naked and nutritious.

When you buy near and now foods, you are choosing foods grown locally and in season. You will be getting the freshest, most flavorful products available. You will be reducing the energy and emissions used to transport and store products from distant regions and you will be supporting your community and local farmers.

Natural and naked foods are those that have been processed the least and with the least amount of packaging. Lots of energy is used to process foods. Sometimes chemicals are added and nutrients are removed when food is processed. While some packaging is necessary, it requires energy and materials to create it and most of it ends up as garbage.

Count yourself in for great food choices. The health of the planet is at stake.
