The Omnivore Solution

Local Sustainable Food Chain- The Solution to the Omnivore's Dilemma

The modern Omnivore's Dilemma that we face today is the simple question of meaning; we can eat anything we want but how do we know what to eat? What's good for us and what's not? We have thousands of food options to choose from, but we don't really know where our food comes from. The Local- Sustainable Food Chain provides a solution to this. You see, local farmers grow organic crops, cattle, and broods in a natural, non - toxic, environmental friendly way that is beneficial to both humans and the animals themselves too. And to mention- the transportation of these grown food move only in the local away a few hundred miles- compared to the thousands of miles in the Industrial Food Chain. That's good for both the consumer and farmer since both earn profit and beneficial outputs as a result. Furthermore, this food chain provides a closer, direct relationship with both parties and since most of the time the consumers know what they're buying and where it came from, they understand the nature of the food, why it is the way it is, and if it's good or not. They realize the value and quality of it, from a direct personal view rather than looking at labellings just like how our ancestors used to do. That's one of the solutions to the Great Omnivore's Dilemma. Eat safe, be safe!
