Summary
Wondering whether it's worth it to splurge on the locally raised beef? What about those organic carrots? New in the Chelsea Green Guides series, Sustainable Food: How to Buy Right and Spend Less helps the average shopper navigate the choices, whether strolling the aisles of a modern supermarket or foraging at a local farmers market. This down-to-earth, casual guide-small enough to be slipped into your pocket-answers these and other questions for the shopper: * What are the differences among organic, local, fair-trade, free-range, naturally raised, and biodynamic foods? * How affordable is it to subscribe to a CSA farm-and what are the advantages? * Is it better to choose wild Alaskan salmon at 18.99, or the Chilean farmed fish at 11.99? * What cooking oils can be sustainably sourced? * How can a food co-op increase access to, and affordability of, healthier, Earth-friendly foods? * Where can you find sustainably produced sugar, and are there any local replacements for sweeteners from faraway lands? * What do the distinctions between shade-grown and trellised coffee mean? * Is shark okay to eat? How about mackerel? * Why is the war on plastic bags so important? Sustainable eating just got easier.
