    I’ve known a lot of people that do this research for a living. You want to know how we could have a much bigger impact without worrying what people eat: grow food locally.

    It’s actually very simple. Shipping things around the world multiple times before they even get to our plates is absolute insanity.

      I think your average American doesn’t even understand that most of the world eats food based on what’s in season. We just ship it in from all over so that there’s barely such a thing as an item being unavailable due to it being out of season.
