Locally grown foods are advantageous because they can be delivered to grocery stores fresh. Whereas imported foods aren't as fresh because they take longer to ship. I prefer imported foods because I cannot always eat local foods due to food allergies. However I do enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables, es
pecially apples from Oak Glen! I don't think I would be able to make my fresh salsa if I was only able to buy locally grown food, because the ingredients are not purely local. I did not attend the "Eat Locally Challenge" because I woke up too late, but from what I heard students did not enjoy the food, but I don't know whether this was due to inefficient food preparation or food quality. A good reason to eat local is that it helps support the local food vendors (like the shops in Oak Glen, or farmers/gardeners). I truly wish that I had gotten the chance to "Eat Locally," simply to experience something new.
