General tips

Buy Local Food : Cultivate an awareness of how far your food travels. When Rich Pirog, Food Systems Program Leader for the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University, tracked the miles traveled for 16 types of produce, he found that locally sourced fruits and vegetables such as apples, lettuce and tomatoes traveled an average of 56 miles, compared to 1,494 miles — nearly 27 times farther — for the same fruits and vegetables delivered through conventional retail channels. Things get stickier with combination foods, strawberry yogurt for example. Pirog came up with 2,216 miles by adding up the distance traveled for the yogurt’s milk, sugar and strawberries. That figure could be slashed by 90 percent if you buy plain yogurt and stir in some locally grown honey and fruit.


Buy Local Food : Begin by taking baby steps, such as committing to spend £10 pounds a week on locally grown foods.

Definition of a calorie?
A calorie is a unit of measurement for energy. A calorie is the amount of heat required to raise 1 kilogram of water 1 degree centigrade. If a food type has higher calories, then it will turn into more energy when your body converts it.

Low calorie food types include green beans, carrots, apricot, steak and burger based meals, and bamboo shoots.
