    Before we were born, our parents haven't had much chance to eat out of their home. Restaurants were then very few and people had no choice but to grow and make their own food. At the same time, almost every house was crowded due to the increased number of family members. This is for the reason that the work load was just too much for a small family that is why they increased the number of people to handle the load. Also, many of our parents grew up during the depression when it was almost necessary to grow your own fruits and vegetables, and perhaps hunt wild game meat.

    Today's setting however is already different. Families now can easily purchase food from the supermarket whenever they feel hungry. Food has been made with lots of varieties and among the most popular are the processed food. Large companies are also able to produce large numbers of fruits as well as vegetables however the quality of the food is sometimes not met. In line to today's modern world, restaurants can now be found in almost everywhere. Depending on what you want, the price is reasonable and in some cases of food is very good.

    There is something to be said about eating food locally. Most the time, if you buy food that is grown locally, you know the grower, and you know how they produce their crops. You can easily tell if the food that you're going to buy is worth your money. You can assure your food free of any contaminants brought about by pesticides or any other chemicals that keep away insects and pests.

    Furthermore, fruits from the local market are usually fresh and pulp. They don't require some chemical be sprayed on them to keep them fresh. On the other hand, having to buy your food from the supermarket leaves you unaware if your goods are clear of any chemicals.

    Most of the fruits and vegetables grown locally are handled less. Subsequently, you'll guarantee yourself of fresh goods that will take a longer while to actually ripen. Having to store these goods in your fridge and pantry in a long time will no longer be problem.

    Having local goods also lets you keep up with the current season. This would mean that you're getting the best among the rest since it is at its peak. Quality is very much guaranteed. You cannot get that with produce and or other foods that may have travel long distances to get you.

    You no longer have to worry if you have an idea as to how your food is made or grown. That's important these days with all the possibilities of contamination from many sources, with food that is handled continuously.

    In our parents certainly didn't have much of an opportunity to go out and eat. Food was actually either grown or hunted. However, it is also a great idea that we go back to that way of living once in a while. If we do, we can guarantee that food is fresher with quality that is much better.
