Either they were grown locally, but then in heated greenhouse, which means lots of energy used for heating, or they were grown somewhere far away (most probable) and they therefore had to be shipped and transported to your town. They were probably picked before they were ripe so they will not have had time to develop vitamins and good minerals.<br />They are not very good for your health, and they are very bad for the planet.<br /><br />Don't you agree that we have such a variety of wonderful vegetables that vary with the seasons? Should we not eat with the seasons? <br />Leave strawberries, courgettes, cherries and tomatoes for summer. Have nice winter roots and fruits. There are lots of nice things now in season : purple brocoli, oranges, dates, nuts, celery, celeriac, cabbage, leeks, bananas... and so more!<br /><br />The Earth provides with everything we need. I believe we should respect it, and respect its cycle.<br /><br />Again, I really appreciate what you do otherwise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8873807170361611822.post-72110550529450323642010-02-02T18:05:17.682-06:002010-02-02T18:05:17.682-06:00Great job!

Unless there's enough for another dinner, perhaps in a new incarnation.Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04373419551112159105noreply@blogger.com
