Food miles: What are they?
Before engines were invented, everyone's food came from nearby - no further than
someone could walk or a horse could pull a cart to market. Pollution? None! Today,
the food you buy comes from anywhere in the world. Most of your food and drink
probably travels thousands of miles before you get it.
Every
extra mile it travels means more and more smoke and
which 
messes
up our planet's climate. It also makes people ill.
So try and make sure that what you get comes from nearby if you can. I
know this is difficult because the labels don't tell you much. Tip:
Ask at your store's helpdesk. That's what it's for!
