Eat Real, Eat Local

This video opened my eyes on how important it is to buy locally. Although it is easy to not care about where your food is from, it is also not very hard to at least try to buy locally grown food. This video opened my eyes to how much Canada imports when we could grow most of what we import. I find that the locally grown food is much fresher and therefore tastes a lot better. There is a market at our cottage, Anderson’s, which is where we buy all our produce because of the taste, and the prices are lower too. My mom tries her best to always buy locally grown food, as she prefers the taste to the food that has been transported to Canada and lost its freshness. Also through the transportation process, it loses a lot of its nutrition too. I find that buying locally is about the same price as buying imported food, the only difference is you have to look at the label to see if it is grown in Canada. Canadians need to start taking pride in what we grow and start supporting our farmers, whether it is convenient or not!
