This one can be scary if you have never thought about it before.
Check where your food comes from!
Most of us are not lucky enough to be self-sufficient in the food we eat. Some of us may even try to buy local produce only which can be difficult.
However globalization has affected us all and the foods we eat. We no longer only eat food that can be grown in our climate or foods that are in season.
For example bananas are seen as healthy foodstuff that children willing eat. This is great except that they have been flown 1000s of miles to get here. We could eat apples instead. Please do not mention strawberries in winter or sprouts in the summer!
Just check the next time you go to buy carrots
(Ireland is well suited to the growing of carrots)
