Yesterday we asked you to consider food that is in season near your homes. However, much of the food we eat has to travel a long way before ending up on our plates. Most foods travel by boats, planes, trucks and/or trains before reaching our grocery stores.

Pick one of your favorite meals. Find out where the ingredients are grown. Find out how it gets to you (or your grocery store), and how far it has to travel. Remember, ingredients can come from different parts of the world. For example, the flour in chocolate chip cookies comes from a different place than the chocolate chips.

Response to yesterday's daily dilemma:

Mrs. Doxstader's class at CR Hanna Elementary had a great response to yesterday's dilemma. They told us that fruits and vegetables such as apples, pumpkins and potatoes where in season near their home. However, some of you, from the mid-west United States, listed things such as mangoes, strawberries, peaches and bananas. While these are in season somewhere, they would not be locally in season. Find out where these foods come from for today's dilemma.
