An average of more than 7 calories of fossil fuel is burned up for every calorie of energy we get from our food.
We use the fossil fuel in the process of producing, processing, packaging, and transporting the food from the farm to us.
If you want to use less fossil fuel so that maybe we can keep the world from burning up from global warming – well, at least slowing down the process –the best thing to do is buy locally grown organic food.
Tastes better and it’s better for you, too.
