UN Food Agriculture Organization and Eating Healthier

institutions: Not only is there an abundance of information related to eating healthier, lighter, fresher food, but there are also specific guidelines from institutions such as the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, which explain how it is easier to achieve such improved nutrition by eating local and, preferably, organic meat and produce, according to National Observer. That is, by either growing your own food or by buying your groceries from farmers who work within your community, city, province, and/or neighbouring provinces. Things are changing, though. By doing so, you’d also reduce your carbon footprint. This explains the proliferation of both ‘healthy’ restaurants, and vegan, gluten-free, organic menu items, specially in high-end eateries. Not only the general public, but also restaurants have been paying attention to such recommendations for a while now. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
