Good: A locally grown tomato. Better: A locally grown heirloom tomato. Why? Not only are they tastier, they help preserve biodiversity. This little factoid is an example of what you can find on the Green Fork, a new blog aimed at supplying the information you need to eat green.
The blog was launched by the folks behind the Eat Well Guide, a handy online database of small-scale farms, restaurants, and other green food outlets throughout the U.S. Enter in your zip code and voilà, a long list of options in your area. The site also has Water-Conscious ratings, so you can find out which neighborhood restaurants are saying no to bottled water.
Green Fork will highlight leaders in the green food industry and offer eco-conscious tips -- the later kicks off with "20 ways to Green Your Fork."
