Source: vanwieren I’m shocked! We get water that is transported all the way from Greenwich, Connecticut, 2476 miles from Los Angeles! The pure and clear water that keeps up hydrated comes a long way. Then there’s bananas which take 2199 miles to get to Los Angeles, think of how much gas is used for trailers. It’s a lot!! I mean bananas are good, their soft, chewy, white, big and small, and always good in a licuado .^_^. but thats a long way where they are brought from. Bananas, water, raisins, Pasta, and many other products come from a long way in where pretty soon these and other fresh products may begin to decrease in quantity due to the oil crisis, making this a big tragedy. Where will I buy and what will I afford with a food shortage? I mean just today I went to La Superior to buy lettuce, tomatoes, ham, cheese, mayonnaise, and bread to make tortas but I was only able to find mayo and bread. The market was far from looking like the usual fresh Superior I would buy groceries and other products from, it looked more like an abandoned store where the products on the shelves were the only ones available. I mean like many others I’m a locavore, I buy food, fruits, vegetables, and other products in stores that are within 100 miles from my house but with products decreasing in stock I'm left to go elsewhere. The local stores that I normally go to: Food 4 Less, La Superior, El Super, etc. have begun to run out of fresh products which leaves me looking for the nearest farmers market by my house. Then I found out of such a thing called frankenfood, which is food that’s been genetically modified, containing all types of chemicals that can cause health problems to a person. For all I know, the foods I've been buying at my local markets could have been frankenfoods. Imagine the type of chemicals I could have in me just now! Searching for a near farmer's market will not just be my only option to find fresh products but it will be a healthier choice too. I’ve just heard of the nearest farmers market located on 7159 Bissell St in Huntington park, Ca. It’s a small farmers market but it’s close enough for me to be able to walk to even if it takes me a while, plus I could also ride the bus there. Bissell St.’s farmer’s market is small but its great, there I am able to find the vegetables and fruits I need. It all looks so fresh, tasty, and is so delicious, like the big juicy strawberries they sell. They also have many organic products for lower prices than what they have them for at my local markets. Now that I am buying at my local farmer’s market, not only have I gotten fresher products, but I have been purchasing more organic foods and I feel great. I’m lovin’ it! ^_^
