Ever wonder what a truly local, springtime breakfast would be like? Well here's the Ottawa version, as served by the Table vegetarian restaurant in Westboro: "roasted potatoes, sugar-free pancakes with maple syrup, eggs, mushrooms, hot house tomatoes and herbal tea" (CBC, April 7)
Sounds pretty good, doesn't it? With the notable lack of coffee... I still intend to try the "eat local for a month" experiment, but I gotta find a way to grow coffee beans. Coffee, the second most valuable commodity in the world (behind petroleum). (Fair Trade Toronto).
Why eat local? To support our farmers, to encourage a healthier diet, and to reduce the pollution & greenhouse emissions that result from trucking food to our tables.
