Across the United States, many Americans continue to drive through McDonalds or search for the cheapest frozen entrees in the isles of monster stores like Wal-Mart. It would be challenge, to say the least, to turn the people of the Midwestern states that I call home into eco-gastronomic eaters.
I spent my summer in San Francisco and learned California is quite ahead of the game when it comes to eating quality food. From farmers markets to Slow Food implementation, the way the Bay eats is much more farmer, environment and health friendly.
In a NYT Food Issue article Douglas McGray said even California's food banks are looking to local farms for more fresh food. Since 2005 the California Association of Food Banks has made deals with farmers across the state to gather fruits and veggies for food banks that are too small, ripe, etc. for grocery stores
If the food banks' consumers are eating fresh and local, maybe fast foodies should take a stab at it too.
