Not Easy Being Green
Thursday, May 8, 2008

Given all the hoopla about sustainable eating and whatnot, it's little surprising to hear that of all the industries tracked in a recent study, food service is the least green: "Why is it so difficult for food service companies to go green? One difficulty is obviously sourcing locally grown food...organic food, because of the loss factor, takes at least 20-40% more land than conventionally raised food to generate the same harvest."
