Grub Time, a Food for Thought.

1. Eat lower on the food chain - fruit and vegetable production requires far less energy than meat production.
2. Eat local fruits and vegetables which are fresher and less likely to be waxed. Also, some imported produce may have been treated with pesticides and chemicals that have been banned in Canada and the U.S.
3. Cut excess fat off of meat and poultry and avoid high fat dairy products. Many chemicals released into the environment are stored in fat tissue and are cumulative.
