Why not just run to the supermarket instead? Well, I'd taken a challenge from the Lansing Localvores to eat local for the next six days - that means consuming only foods grown, raised or made with products from within 100 miles of where I live.
The Lansing Localvores are a growing group of about 10 Lansing-area residents who are concerned about the environment, what Americans will do when our fuel sources run out and are trying to find ways on a local level to make things better.
