Reasons Why Local Foods Are Better

By George Dodson


Before we were born, our parents haven't had much chance to eat out of their home. There weren't that many restaurants, and many of them had to grow their own food. In addition, people in those days have rather large families. This is for the reason that the work load was just too much for a small family that is why they increased the number of people to handle the load. Likewise, back then was the time of the great depression and families were very much obliged to grow their own fruits and vegetables and hunt animals for their meat.

These days its much different. A lot of the food that we serve on our dining table mostly came from the supermarket. Food has been made with lots of varieties and among the most popular are the processed food. Large companies are also able to produce large numbers of fruits as well as vegetables however the quality of the food is sometimes not met. In line to today's modern world, restaurants can now be found in almost everywhere. Depending on what you want, the price is reasonable and in some cases of food is very good.

There is something to be said about eating food locally. Most the time, if you buy food that is grown locally, you know the grower, and you know how they produce their crops. You can easily tell if the food that you're going to buy is worth your money. That might be no pesticides or other harmful chemicals, which are often spread on food by major growers to keep away the pests.

Furthermore, fruits from the local market are usually fresh and pulp. They don't require some chemical be sprayed on them to keep them fresh. On the other hand, having to buy your food from the supermarket leaves you unaware if your goods are clear of any chemicals.

Most of the fruits and vegetables grown locally are handled less. This simply means that you're able to acquire better quality fruits and vegetables that doesn't ripen too quickly. That means they last longer in your pantry or refrigerator.

You're also able to keep up with the present season if you purchase your goods from the local market. This would mean that you're getting the best among the rest since it is at its peak. You can be assured of the quality. This is something that you can't simply have from goods that have traveled from far away places like those from the supermarket.

Knowing where your food is grown, as well as how it's produced, leave you with a better feeling about what you're eating. This is something that people should take consideration for since a lot of food today are grown and made with contaminants due to handling and chemicals.

In our parents certainly didn't have much of an opportunity to go out and eat. They had no choice but to grow their produce and tend to poultry, farms as well as hunts to their meat. Perhaps a good idea to get back the some of that. Food is fresher, it's handled class, and it taste better.
