Environment and community“If you’re trying to be a conscious consumer, local is usually better,” Urban Detox Club’s Jen Morris says. Not only is it way better for the planet, it also means your dollars are going directly to the person growing your food and supporting the local economy.3. Taste and appearanceAs anyone who’s ever opened a plastic box to find already limp, wet arugula knows, when it comes to flavor and prettiness on a plate, local wins. “It goes without saying that local produce — produce harvested just the day before it’s delivered to our USDA Certified Organic production facility — retains a vibrancy with which imported products could never compete,” says Helms.Photographed by Ingalls Photo.Tips To Help You Choose1.

Use the Dirty DozenBoth Sacks and Morris suggest using EWG’s list of the top 10 most pesticide-laden foods as a guide. For the foods that top the list, make sure you go organic, even if it means you can’t do local. For those that tend to hold on to less residue, like those on the Clean 15 list, stick to local, even if it’s not organic. This is the kind of grocery shopping negotiation that Sacks recommends.3. Consider the volume“The amount you’re eating matters,” Sacks says. So if you’re eating an apple every day, for example, you’d better buy the organic Moncler Women Coats Black Friday Sales bag. If you’re just eating a few slices with almond butter once a week, buy the New York State ones that have been sprayed. “If it’s not something you’re eating a lot of, I wouldn’t get yourself too crazy about it.”
