DECEMBER 20229in season when you can. To get the freshest produce, ask your grocer what is in season. Or buy food from your local farmers' market. Read food labels carefully. Just because a product says it's organic or has organic ingredients doesn't mean it's a healthier choice. Some organic products may still be high in sugar, salt fat or calories. Wash and scrub fresh fruits and vegetables well under running water. Washing helps remove dirt, germs, and chemical traces from fruit and vegetable surfaces. But you can't remove all pesticide traces by washing. Throwing away the outer leaves of leafy vegetables can lessen contaminants. Peeling fruits and vegetables can remove contaminants but may also cut nutrients. The Benefits of Locally Grown FoodFinancial: Money stays within the local economy. More money goes directly to the farmer, instead of to things like marketing and distribution. Transportation: In the U.S., for example, the average distance a meal travels from the farm to the dinner plate is over 1,500 miles. Produce must be picked while still unripe and then gassed to `ripen' it after transport. Or the food is highly processed in factories using preservatives, irradiation, and other means to keep it stable for transport. Freshness: Local food is harvested when ripe and thus fresher and full of flavor. Some small local farmers use organic methods but may not be able to afford to become certified organic. Visit a farmer's market and talk with the farmers to find out what methods they use. If you can afford to pay the higher prices, look for beef and dairy products labeled `pasture-raised' or `100 percent grass fed'. For pork, chicken, or eggs, look for a `certified organic' label. You may find that buying cheaper cuts of meat from organically raised animals enables you to eat organic without breaking your food budget. Try buying organic chicken thighs instead of conventionally raised chicken breasts, for example. What's Showing?You need more power. Rather than capturing only the small portion of the sun's energy that hits Earth, you decide to capture all of its energy by building an energy collecting enclosure around it a Dyson sphere. Once you've harnessed the sun's entire output, you have enough energy to start stripping away the Earth's surface much more quickly. By the time you remove a kilometre of rock, the surface is up to 40 degrees Celsius. That may feel like a nice foot while getting out from blankets during the rocks get hotter the deeper at Earth's core Rather than capturing only the small portion of the sun's energy that hits Earth, you decide to capture all of its energy by building an energy-collecting enclosure around it--a Dyson sphere.
