A few years ago I did a natural nutrition course with The College of Natural Nutrtion. It was of course very pro organic food. But it also placed great emphasis on eating with the seasons.
Being the little earth loving creature I am, I now find myself confused when I’m in the fruit and veg department and it can take me ages to pick my purchases:
The organic apples I’m looking at are in a plastic non biodegradable bag.
So I must surely buy the in-organic loose apples.
The organic lemons are in a net bag and they’re from South Africa
So I have to get loose in-organic ones from Spain.
I want to eat with the seasons.
But what do I do when winter sets and it’s so ‘normal’ to boost my Vit C with oranges and lemons, which will no doubt come all the way from SA.
And now someone has told me about David Bellamy who reckons global warming is ‘a load of poppycock!’ so maybe food miles don’t make a difference after all.
I’m very confused.
How do you go about choosing your fruit and veg?
