  • The Missoula Coyote Choir says YES to this video! Thanks Flo!

  • BF: Awesome video! I originated in NH, so I understand the challenges of a New England winter.

    Greengrassofhome: Not always true. We grow with the whole year in mind, preserving what we can for winter (as the author has also done). People were eating local in snowy climates long before railroads and electricity!

  • Wegmans has just made it easier. Yesterday we went and bought some cucumbers that were grown only 15 miles away. They didn't look as pretty as the waxed uniform ones from California, but tasted so much better. Reminded me of the ones my mom would grow.

  • as far as glogel worming that's bullshit al gore and his dumass ppl start preaching about it , I guse in his openion privet jets and suvs got nothing to do with global worming ....and for this lady in the video .......she needs to get a life ....or laid what ever make her happy.

  • Local ain't always beneficial. Example: To produce veg in non-sunny place, farmer spends more energy and resources to grow something locally than it would cost to grow it easily in a far away place and transports a few thousand miles. Transporting food in bulk on a long distance by plane is more energy efficient than lots of travelling with small amounts of local food. People find linear solutions without looking at the big picture. Most "solutions" found are usually not truly energy efficient.

  • Sparta: you have given Relocation, Relocation a whole new angle! Ha Ha...

  • K0K4NE - I feel sorry for you, really. Keep living that turd-world dream! /lol

  • how about global warming is fake, remember the same dude whose joking this bullcrap is the same dude who "invented the internet", uh-oh wouldnt want him as my spokesman

  • How about "Homeless on stick" or "pan-fried panhandler".

  • You've got quite a taste for the alternative alright. I was thinking more in the veggie line, that is, vegetables and fruit.

  • Thanks for this video, you are really trying to do your part and I think it was bright and entertaining as well as informative and challenging. Good job please keep it up. It's amazing to me that some people still deny global warming but then I guess they believe the media which is run by the big corps.

  • I live in Chicago. Do you have any recipes for rats and pigeons?

  • How about the 'Chicago Catchem Double' bud?

    Basically, its a couple of pan fried year old chicks served on a bed of Ratatoui...

    fedwatch: Your thoughts on alternative food sources is very interesting. What else is local for you?

  • Doing all you can is all you can do! Nice challenge..

  • yeah i usually eat local at home, but I also eat fast food so i don`t think i`m helping the enviroment too much :D

  • Snow cones, Snookums, eat snow cones from right outside your front door.

    BTW, Love your Italian accent.

  • FUCK the environment

  • looks good - real men do eat quiche!

  • If I live near the beach does that mean that I eat nothing but fish and seaweed all year? Can I eat nice Washington State cherries or Columbian arabica coffee? Getting these products via speedy transportation and refrigeration was called progress not too long ago.

  • Dont worry junkie4vids choice is going to dissapear real fast. Get ready for the Mac Diet...

  • I always eat local, I am lucky to have all sorts of Chinese Indian Turkish Pakistani Italian fast food joints not to mention the good ole USA burge bars all within a one mile radius of my home. Local shops are for local people. Welcome to Royston Vasey!

  • gay

    now watch my vid 'dudu and murr'

    lol p[lease its funny i swear it

  • watch?v=6Az6REvA-hI only watch u gonna laught

  • Kamik: Have you ever been caught in a traffic jam? Have you looked around and wondered how much fuel was being burned? Volcanoes emmit gases, dust and other fine particulates and its usually alot over a short period of time. There are usually storms with associated with the eurption.

    Its amazing how quiclky a drip will fill a bath tub. Cars are like the drips, just throwing out a single type of greenhouse gas. If all the cars on the road at the same time in the whole world were added up......

  • Look, I'm all for the environment, but we have to be more educated in the way we inform others. Eating locally will may reduce the consumption of fossil fuels, but there are other factors at play. Many metropolitan areas cannot be supported by their local agro-economy (ie. NYC, LA). The price of locally grown food would have the destitute starve. I didn't see a scrap of meat in your quiche. How about fish? That brings up lots of fishery depletion issues. Please, PLEASE be more careful next time.

  • she needs to get laid so bad .....yes lady .....you

  • 1 volcanic eruption emits more green house gases than humans have in their entire existence. you all are wasting your time trying to stop global warming

  • Did you ever consider how much of a footprint the internet leaves? What about the corporation that made your video camera? If you think people can band together to fight "climate change" then you're living in fantasyland:

    1. man made climate change is utter rubbish

    2. even if true, efforts such as this would be meaningless anyway and offset by the camera/internet etc.

    I will however, rack you on buying local stuff.

    Now, think about buying a camera made of soybeans and get back to me.

  • i'm still paranoid about y2k, how can i care about global warming?,...

  • BULLSHIT DETECTED!! VIEWING Terminated

  • dowling1981: Food on our tables is going to be the biggest challenge of the 21st Century. Its not just our daily bread which is under threat. The quality, quantity and variety of our food is going to be less. The price is only going to go up... Our civillisation has peaked and science has failed us. Pesticides (knocked out the bees and benificial insects and the crops they pollinate) and global warming (caused by cars and transport systems)Its going to be down hill from here and I love honey!

  • French cuisine is so much better then British garbage!

  • yeah right, 100G of food of 50euroes, pathetic. I'm not saying english food is good but, I meen, I eat in france, they eat so little, I would starve.

  • Hey, do what you want to save money, but don't further the phony Global Warming religion. It's all a scam, people. Al Gore is getting rich with abolutely no definitive proof of climate change whatsoever.

  • Even if that is true, don't you think it is just a ridiculous waste of time and resources shipping food over from some random place on the other side of the world when you can just get it from some local growers market nearby. You would be helping people in your own country make a living.

  • Only a brainwashed american could say that global warming is fiction... in the future they'le wat up theyre own words.

    Nice video

  • It is not fiction. It is just not our doing. Who was responsible the last time? It is a cycle. You can not stop it.

  • I alway eat local foods. Hell there are 5 different grocerys within 5 miles!

  • Yes, but where do the groceries get their supplies from? *ahem*

  • Who cares as long as it is fresh!

  • Al Gore DID NOT invent the internet but he did make up global warming!

  • global warming is bullshit. the news tells lies and make everyone afria people will buy the news papper. thats life.

  • YOU FIX IT!!!

    "DONE"

  • Next VISITOR!?

  • snip snip!

  • So you made a quiche from locally sourced foods. What about the rest? Vegetables? Fruit? Salad items?

  • it looks daaaamN tasty...hmmm...but she also could say: ya this is from my local foodmarket or stuff but she probably baught it in a supermarket like everybody else... she just wants to be seen/heard by anyone i guess

  • ok but who cares?

  • no one...if you're all dead...

  • Eat healthy. Fight global warming.

  • Can I come over for dinner Flo it looked so good. :@)

  • jummy

  • Way to go, Flo ! And the quiche looks delicious.

  • fuck that,i have a life, food isnt a big part of it

  • "I like imported beer from Germany" - Hoff

  • Devineunion you are going to have to find your comments. I am attached to one of them. Thats the one thing I hate about YouTube, its not being able to find a response especially when it gets busy.

    PreserveTheWhiteRace, go pickle yourself!

  • You can contact Hilary Clinton and tell her how you feel about her. Her phone number is 717-609-2674 For more information go to site below:

    youtube. com/watch?v=LLd7PfZ6piY

  • BlkWomen - Do you have her fax number?

  • Dont encourage her coz I dont care about the election.

    Save the Planet. Save the Environment. Save the bees!

  • just4isaac - Do those things not have any relation to who gets voted in? Do you think things like Saving the Environment just happen in an independant vacuum?

  • ya I live in the mountains so for me everything is far away. theres nothing here.haha

  • somebody needs a hug...

    :-(

  • wow this is like the first time a mom has done youtube LOL

  • seaching rich men and sexy ladies online is  much more interesting than doing house work at home. and//millionairechats.c o m // provides this servies

  • I love your presentation, very instructive spontaneous and dynamic. There is something from Sheila McCarthy in "I've heard the Mermaids singing" ... (an "old" Canadian movie - 1987). And the most "Du beurre from French Canada" !!! So cute ! I would like to know, where did you get your aperon, it's very colorfull ? Thank you, Marc ... from French Canada.

  • my nuts are pretty damn eco friendly. perhaps you would like to give them a taste?

  • I love to eat locally. The only problem that I see is: where are your cookware, appliances, and other conveniences produced? How much fuel was used to produce them? What is the life expectancy of them? Are they energy efficient? My point is that, while we all can try to do what is right by eating locally and shopping locally, the problem is much larger than that. I'm not saying stop doing the things you are doing, just that it's bigger than this.

  • Eating local is one LARGE step in the right direction. Health, air quality, soil quality even ocean quality and cultural diversity and employment are preserved. There are lots of things we have become dependent on produced far away, and in time that will change, probably slowly as the definition of "needed" changes. Most stuff can be re-used, reworked, appliances and hardware etc.(my anvil is my friend)locally. Solar cooking: effective baking and boiling appliances -recycled materials.

  • If Every1 ate locally more, then foreigners would be suppressd from eating their cultureal food many other consequences would arise too! if eating locally became a law long term consequences may not be as nice as expected

  • I agree there will be downfalls.. but I was also thinking, since alot of our food come from starving 3rd world countries (are they still called that now-a-day's?) that food will stay in their countries, and (hopefully) reduce world starvation... or becouse they can be quite ignorant, just make them bankrupt...

  • eating local would increase regional diversity I would think. what grow here does not grow there etc. That is why there is regional diversity in diet to begin with. Transportation and agribusiness homogenizes diet across culture.

  • yeah for something cool, go check out the videos on my channel, thebarryo!!!!

  • lame and boring

  • Good video.Eating locally has many benefits .

    It supports local farmers. In turn their farms are less likely to become a housing development.

    You eat healthier

    You support local businesses rather than some remote multinational corporation. It makes the local economy better , which increase your property values.

    It keeps the money in the USA instead of helping to make our trade balance worse. It guarantees you won't end up ingesting some tainted food from China.

  • Right on!

  • lets ask for forgiveness, grace, faith, thankfulness, love, patience, comfort, and an open, sensitive, soft, receptive heart everyday in prayer in Jesus, his name and power.

  • wtf?

  • Sorry. I was replying to John833 :)

  • blah

  • just eat meat and all,,,

    phuck that shit,,...

    go red,, eat meat and be agains peta..

    yeah

    !!!!!!!

  • Uncampassionate Bastard. And obviously the red meat is destroying your supply of brain cells, considering you can't even spell FUCK properly. :)

  • I KNOW HOW TO SPELL FUCK,,, Im not a cunt like you dumbass that doesn't know what the fuck your following. Peta is for TOTAL liberation!!!,,, that means no guide dogs and pets... is this really what you believe ,,, ok then support those stupid tree hugging hippies.

  • I am a tree hugging hippy and I'm proud of it. And even though I don't support all of PETA's ideas, I do support the majority of them. And BTW you need to get your facts straight, and I have even researched how they feel about pets, and they aren't for "total liberation". So you can kiss my tree hugging, vegetarian ass.

  • I'd love to eat locally but it's not possible. I live in a small town in northern BC (Canada). I live on a island that is surrounded by rain forest. That means that there are no farms anywhere near here. No local produce, no local poultry or cattle. Although you can hunt for moose and deer it's not legal on the actual island. So... yeah. What about people in my situation?

  • dyke or not, shes cool

  • the hidden meaning of eat locally grown food is "let people who live in the desert die".

    it's racism, pure and simple.

    eating locally grown food is impossible in most of the world and in the places where it's possible, you're hurting the rest of us.

    there's a reason norman borlaug won a nobel prize.

  • I think she only meant the fat Americans who buy shitty food and don't support the farmers who are getting put out of business by the government

  • stfu you stupid bastard.

  • It was great to finally learn WTF a quiche is. I knew it was somewhere in the neighborhood of an egg pie, but watching this video really opened my eyes to the possibility of baking one.

  • on your check list you should have just put "kill myself" you'd leave less of a carbon foot print and the earth might last a little longer.

  • STOP GLOGAL WHINING

    fuck you guys

  • Yum. This made me hungry.

  • its good.

  • youtube = search = מוות קליני - שני הצדדים

  • Camels on the roof at 1:40 a purple camel clambers across her roof!! its a sign!!!

  • POSH ENGLISH SLUT

  • what on earth makes her a slut? Think of a intelligent insult, please.

  • oh gadz min. shes a lil pikie then!!!

  • ahahahh thats funny ... its true!!!

  • lmao..

  • The best way to increase global welfare is when production is done by the most effecient producers.

    The envirommental benefits of eating locally are disputed as you can see by ur comments

    So 1 star

  • and besides what about devleopment, free trade and the developing countries.

    The ony real solution to environmental problems can be one that reach a compromise between the north and the south

  • what about the energy you needed to drive your car, heat your oven, was that generated within a 100 miles radius as well?

  • The only real solution to environmental problems will be those within the neo-liberal framework

    This does not fit in the neo-liberal framework

  • sex video

  • who is just4Isaac i cant find your message!!!

  • I honestly couldn't care less about climate change. Nor will i care what happens while I'm dead.

  • congratulations dumbass, your compact flourescents are full of mercury!!!! Hooray! let's save our environment by filling it with toxic heavy metals!!

    carbon, on the other hand is the basic building block of all life forms.

  • Whoopee!! Get a life but when it comes to telling me about what food I should buy, MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!!

  • In Spring, 2008, the internet dissapears... forever...

    /watch?v=GpBqWvpTW_s

  • what about people in third world countrys that cant eat locally that cant even afford rice ??????????

  • how is that my problem?

  • wow yummy yummy, we could grow our own food if we wanted that would help even more than just getting food in your town.

  • I love bananas and oranges...

  • Pick one, then move to puerto rico or georgia

  • great, now can you put that in a box and ship it 800 miles to me in michigan?

  • Lame video.

  • Meat, eggs and dairy are part of the problem no matter how close to your home. Animal agriculture is bad for the climate. Just read about methane gas. It's an unrealistic and energy consuming diet in a world where millions people are starving. Why force breed billions of animals for their flesh, milk and eggs when more people can eat and our be nature spared of negative effects of animal farming, if you switch to a plant based diet? Go vegan.

  • much better to bake your paste before you put the ingredients, otherwise it will get all soagy (wrong spelling there I guess). But the idea is right ! eat local food !!!

  • join my group

  • Great Video. Keep up the good work!

  • now bake a noobcake.

  • can i have it. im hungry

  • BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORING

  • KOK4NE - Korean rule? HAHAHAHA. Fuck your shithole turd-world country. We were the ones who forced you dirty commies into a two-country state. And we could wipe all you out if we wanted to. You're a joke.

  • Your little checklist is great! Make sure those little, expensive, mercury-filled light bulbs don't break in your house though, you will need to call haz-mat to come and clean up the mess so you don't get mercury poisoning - what a great solution! More expensive AND toxic! Awesome! I tell ya, this global warming bs will be the end of us.

  • I live in mesa, arizona....I really don't believe we have locally grown stuff.

  • North or South Korean?

  • Fuck the climate, it will be nice to have wormer summers in the future.

  • Yeah but the places were its already fucking hot in the summer will become unsurviveable so all of those people will come to (northern) Europe and American (for e.g.) and things will get crazy. But this could all be hyperbole, who knows.

  • I think we need a nice wall..

  • watch my chanel please is very important ;)

  • tramp

  • Dear, You so tired and drawn. Are you eating right?

  • lol, i challenge you to find a hairdressing salon locally and fix that birds nest on top of your head!

  • your cool. i love quiche!!!

  • FACT #1. Consuming local produce creates a larger environmental footprint because the distribution infrastructure is much less efficient, i.e. many small vehicles making many trips to keep local food on your table as opposed to one large vehicle making one trip from one farm.

    FACT #2. According to nature -- the climate is, has always been, and will always be changing. If you seek to "fight climate change" you seek to fight nature.

    Ignorance is the enemy, not nature.

  • musiccalgary,

    FACT CHECK #1: Assumption on distribution type, static infrastructure, and "one large vehicle" being the implied opposite to her vieo are all erroneous and fallacious.

    FACT CHECK #2: While climate change is the norm in nature, assuming that all change is the norm is fallacious.

    "Ignorance is the enemy, not nature." Hey, you got 1/3 correct. 33.3% = fail.

  • FACT #1 Incorrect

    FACT #2 Numnut

    Numnuts are the enemy

  • boooooooooring

  • thank u

  • thank  you

  • does the weekly delivery come by bicycle? lol just kidding. great idea if you can do it.

  • You used as much energy making and uploading this video as you saved by buying locally. You have caused a lot more than that to be used if you take into account your 70 thousand viewers. Also, how does composting reduce greenhouse gases?

  • hahaha thats very true!

  • Where can I get the essential ingredient to any meal, cocaine, locally?

  • I heard that that doesn't end up working as well as in theory. All of the small trips in trucks ends up causing more pollution than the fewer huge shipments. But I suppose if you live in an area where you can go to the source, that's good.

  • Biggest problem being that local farmers don't have the growing capacity to actually feed everybody.

  • whatever...

  • people! eat healthy food@

  • are you a vegitarian?

  • That actually looks pretty good! Nice!

  • sweet vid.

  • A British woman living in Vermont... what the hell are you doing there, the place sucks!? Try baking a cake with local ingredients somewhere that isn't run by wacky leftists... also drive less in Vermont - you have to be kidding me, there's nothing there!!

  • very informative...

    i wish i had a cool accent...(although i've heard the lack of an accent is one in itself ((a la american))...*sigh*)

  • if any one wants to see a funny vid type in sadeghsayyed and look at the vid magic trick

  • Mmmmm... Looks tasty. The quiche I mean. She's ok too.

  • I will sit on the couch and not move - check

    I will eat local foods from the kitchen, like Twinkies and Pringles - check

    Wecome to the ecofriendly lifestyle.

  • you have to be careful. individual farmers bringing small amount of produce to nearby locations can sometimes emit more carbon for transportation, then a large company transporting massive amounts. Other than that, I support local.

  • Please go back to where ever you came from ......please .

  • And, without fail, remove those automatic methane pilot light burning units from around your anus that burn off and vent away noxious fumes. Let the methane raw--better without by products of combustion.

  • Learn how to edit better.

  • Looks Terrible. Ugh.

    Nobody in LA would have any bread. There isn't a wheat field to be seen for hundreds of miles. I guess folks in Tuscon could eat snake and cactus three times a day.

  • Don't make a federal case out of it. RP 2008!

  • all my food is local, a few feet away to my fridge. how local can u get??
