Eating locally allows you to support your local economy including food businesses and farmers and helps create jobs. Local food is fresher, healthier and tastier. Buying produce in season is healthier for you since it's fresh and tasty.

I buy organic where food has a high pesticide count and I always check whether it's local.
Noted, thanks Michael.

We are lucky to have so many farmer's markets here in Connecticut where we can buy local - and sometimes even organic - produce, baked goods, cheeses and canned goods.

Thanks you, Michael. Support your local farmers -- if the price of gas should suddenly sky-rocket due to some unforeseen event, local farmers might be all we'll have to supply our food.

I'm fairly close to a farmer's market; I also grow my own food.
