How to Go Green: Eating

[by Team TreeHugger]

The dailies? You know -- milk, bread, eggs -- the dailies. These are the things you eat that you find yourself running out each week (or each day) to purchase. Now, you spend a lot of money on these purchases because of their purchasing frequency, so its important that something worth so much money is chosen carefully.

And it's not just about money; because we all do it several times a day, eating green is perhaps the most impactful single act we engage in. Those dailies we mention above all have very specific impacts -- from where the cows graze before supplying your milk, to how near your home your bread is baked.

Of course, it isn't quite that simple; there are myriad factors throughout the entire life cycle of all your food and its inputs that affect its relative impact. So, how do you navigate all of these choices? Read on.
