Eating locally produced food means less transportation costs and less chemical additions, so it’s better for your body as well as the environment!

Eating locally also contributes to the local farming industry, which is getting smaller thanks to the growing ski areas and big industry farming, so even though regional products might be a bit more expensive, it’s worth the extra cash.

Things to look out for in European countries are cheeses, eggs, wine, honey, preserves and meat. Although be careful with meat, as farming animals uses around a third of the world’s grain, so eating meat actually negatively impacts the environment. Eating fish in ski resorts is generally not a good thing to do, because it will generally have been transported a long way, frozen. However, most restaurants have a local river fish on the menu, which are generally oily and good for your heart!
