Eat local food, eat healthier
Kane County is focusing more on buying organic produce and an alternative is to support local farmers. Kane County should be boosting its economy by buying local produce in place of organic produce.
It is true many organic companies do grow their produce organically, but after picking, they spray them with pesticides so they stay fresh while they are being shipped around the world. By buying locally, you get to trust and get to know the farmers who are growing your food. Eating locally also tastes better and has more nutrients because they are picked that day instead of a few weeks before.
