Group urges everyone to eat local
MILWAUKEE - Eat local. That's the message from a collaboration of local food lovers.
Eat Local Milwaukee urges people to eat food produced and grown locally. The Eat Local Challenge is currently underway.
Blogger Lori Friedrich does her best to eat local all year round. She cites economic reasons, among others.
"Eating local puts more money into the Milwaukee area and the state of Wisconsin," Friedrich tells me. "There is also an environmental impact. When you're not shipping tomatoes and peaches from California, you're saving carbon emissions, you're saving energy."
"Plus local food tastes better."
Another local blogger, Alysha Witwicki, is trying her hand at the Eat Local Challenge.
"It is really about planning ahead of time," Witwicki said. "If you're the type of person who eats meals of the cuff, it'll be hard for you."
