Think Globally, Eat Locally
Locavores are individuals that commit to eating within a 100-mile radius of their home. The trend started in San Francisco by a group of friends who committed to this concept for a month and a new movement was born. In Los Angeles, three artist started gathering gathering fruit from trees and buses growing on public property eventually filling up food pantries with their spoils. One hundred short years ago neither of these ideas would have been considered very radical, but then niether was organics. Everything that is old is new again.Today’s Lunch
