When it comes to food, one of the best ways we can protect the Earth is by decreasing our food miles. Food miles are the distance food travels from the time it is grown to when it reaches our plates. Most food in the United States has traveled an average of 1,500 miles before it gets to its final destination that s farther than the distance from Chicago to Yellowstone National Park. The start of spring is the ideal time to reconnect with locally grown food. Chicken Tinga Burritos or Fajita Burritos
