This great post on the Eat Local Challenge blog poses some great questions about how much it really costs to eat locally and in so doing also most likely eat organically and sustainably. It is balanced by this article (linked to in the Eat Local Challenge post) on the cost of breakfast in Crude Oil terms. Both have got me thinking more and more about where our food comes from and how it gets to us. These are great articles to read on the heels of finding the 100 Mile Diet site.

And thanks to the gals at More Hip than Hippie for ruining my last trip to Costco :-} It was almost painful. The packages seemed to scream at me as I tried to ethically shop based on distance traveled, organic content, manufacturer, amount of packaging, cost, recyclability, and a host of other socially conscious criteria. It’s all good, but I can see I need to expand my own and my clients budgets for the local organic co-op.
