How Far Your Produce Travels: http://awesome.good.is/transparency/web/
Buying fruits and vegetables from local farmers' markets not only supports local agriculture, but also saves countless pounds of carbon emissions, since your food has not been shipped from afar to your supermarket. It's... not always easy to buy local, but from an emissions perspective, it might be worth it. This is a look at the average distance that produce travels in the United States—from where it's grown, to where it's sold (imported foods are not considered in this graphic).

Foods That Might Make You Sick: http://awesome.good.is/transparency/web/
Until recently, food-borne illness was most often associated with contaminated meat. But after last year’s tomato scare, illness from more innocuous-seeming foods has become more acknowledged. With the exception of mea...t, which falls under the purview of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, most of America’s food sources are overseen by the Food and Drug Administration. Some argue that the FDA isn’t empowered to do enough to enforce food-safety regulations, and legislation is currently before Congress to give it more power. Right now, these are the FDA-regulated foods that have made the most people sick since 1990.
