| "If people made the effort even 20 percent to eat local, it would have a huge impact on the environment, the local economy and their communities," says Sarah Irani of Frederick. Irani, a 29-year-old sculptor who moved to the area from rural Michigan six years ago, says she originally became interested in organic food for health reasons. Moving to a more densely populated area shifted her focus to a local diet. "Eating local isn't just about health," says Irani. "The more time you spend eating really good food, your taste buds acclimate. I recently had the greatest bunch of broccoli from the Frederick farmers market. It was so unbelievably delicious. And it didn't sit on a truck for three weeks, frozen." Washington Post, November 2006 |
