Buying Health and Sustainability

Making smart choices about food means more than just avoiding pollutants. It can include choosing foods grown locally or more sustainably as well. Locally grown food often is fresher, tastes better and requires fewer fossil fuels to transport it. Food raised sustainably—certified organic, for example—means fewer antibiotics or chemicals, which can reduce toxic contaminations. Increasingly, science suggests organic produce or meat raised on grass instead of grains may be healthier because it is more nutritious.
