Eco-Eats

Hi All!

So, Babson has a new entrepreneur in residence “drum roll”… The amazing and hungry Andrew Zimmern! Not only am I a huge fan of his show Bizarre Foods, but I also love his philosophy on eating the most natural, local and unprocessed foods whenever you can. If we all want to be sustainability warriors, we should take care in making sure ourrfood was raised with the preservation of our environment in our mind. After all, we are what we eat.  

You can be more eco-friendly by eating a diet that is local, organic, unprocessed and has minimal amounts of packaging. By eating organically, you’re supporting farmers that use fewer pesticides and chemicals that pollute the environment. Furthermore, these growers use less energy and you can help build a community through your support! Eating locally also releases less carbon into the atmosphere and you are able to eat fresher and more nutritious foods. Lastly, foods with fewer or recyclable packaging reduce waste. So next time you go grocery shopping, keep this in mind and don’t forget your cloth shopping bags!

Happy Eatings
