Tonight I went to Soup Plantation. Although it is one of my favorite places to go, in the back of my mind I always wonder where all of that food comes from. It was really packed so new batches of food were flying out. What does it take to get all of the various ingredients? How do they make the veggies seem so fresh? I also wonder if they buy anything from local growers.
Defrosting my english muffin reminded me how much food is in my house. We over buy and sometimes food ends up in our freezer. Now we actually have an external freezer to hold everything. I think that food and its packaging is one of the main sources of waste. Even if something is made/grown locally, the packaging could be from elsewhere in the world. Just to get one english muffin, there is a plastic bag, paper box, with ink printed on it, and the tiny plastic bag clip. Is all of that really needed?
