annefood 9yr I agree—it is definitely not black and white. The alternative to a tomato out of season is not cereal. People are capable of being mindful, and also making exceptions. Most days I eat applesauce I froze this past fall from my orchard's fruit. But last week I ate an organic mango. Obviously not seasonal or local. And on a side note I think that "seasonal" and "local" have lost their true meaning for a lot of people. I catered a vegan dinner for an environmental non-profit last January in Idaho (read: snow, freezing cold) and the woman who was hosting said "So I'm going to describe the menu as local and seasonal, okay?" To which I replied "No! It's not local or seasonal! The only things growing here are herbs inside!" By seasonal and local she really meant sustainably (as much as possible) produced, organic slow food dinner. Do the best you can. Be aware. Eat local when possible....

DietID_TeamDietitians 9yr Yes this is most definitely a classic example of why we need a better vernacular. The terms are confusing and in fact create a polarizing discussion
