Being Environmental with Food

You don't need environmental consultants like these guys to tell you all the buzzwords like “Think green”, “eco-friendly food”, “organic food”, “natural food” that are all fluttering in the air and are becoming louder and louder year after year. You certainly wouldn't want to fall behind the trend. But again, how realistic is it for you to eat raw food just because they save the poor planet some energy? Not so achievable.
