Inspiration for GreenGourmetToGo came from a lifelong journey toward living and eating in harmony with the world around us and in a way that supports our healthiest potential. The dietary choices we make every day have an impact on our environment,our health and our well-being. When we practice a thoughtful approach to how and what we eat,we have an opportunity to inspire harmony. The choices we make about food are intensely personal. The best way to lead people to a healthier more conscious diet is through example.
We hope we can inspire you to consider your choices carefully. See more below...
Organic is better for you and our world
Why Vegetarian?
A vegan or vegetarian diet is one way to honor and respect all of the earth’s inhabitants.When we choose cruelty-free food we are choosing a more peaceful existence and that can’t be bad. You don’t need to be a vegetarian to enjoy vegetarian food.
Why Organic?
What you eat becomes a part of you. Did you know that if you consumed an average apple you would be eating over 30 pesticides even after you have washed it. Organic farming is safer for the environment because it doesn’t use synthetic fertilizers that pollute our soil and water. Organic also means no toxic pesticides which means it’s safer for YOU.
Why Local?
The average fresh food item on our plate travels 1,500 miles to get there.That’s a lot of fuel-guzzling travel to get from farm to table.When you eat local you are helping to reduce global warming. Eating local also helps the local economy. Large agribusinesshas taken over farming from the local farmers.As that has happened our food sources have become more centralized - which is a dangerous position for all of us. Think back on recent cases of E.coli outbreaks and howpervasive they were.When farming is decentralized, so are the risks. There are lots of reasons to eat local and thanks to a growing trend, there are more local farms to patronize.
Why Real Food?
Processed food has become a staple in the American diet - and as that has happened a whole generation of people have grown up thinking that food comes from a box, bag or drive-through. Real food grows from the ground - the only processing is done by Mother Nature herself. Through our food, we hope to serve those who know and appreciate real food and also tempt those who want to get acquianted with healthier dietary choices.
Supporting local farmers is good for the local economy and our future
Eat food made from fresh, whole food ingredients. Food should come from the earth, not a box, bag or drive-thru
