Here's a great reference from Food Myths:
Do you ever think about how far the food you eat travels?  Who grew it?  Who picked it? How much in processing it's been through before you took a bite?
Real Food is:
-Supports fair farmworker wages
-GMO Free
-Little to no processing/processed ingredients
-Supports local markets/vendors and isn't transported long distances to get to my plate
-Honors fair trade principles when I buy from other regions
-Meat and dairy should be humanely raised and on real food themselves-Not genetically engineered feed, drugs, hormones and antibiotics.

Co-hosts for this healthy hop are

Joyce @ It's Your Life

Courtney @ The Delinquent Crunchy

Lydia @ Lydia's Flexitarian Kitchen 

and Me @ Mary's Kitchen and Back to the Basics

We are offering co-host spots for Real Food Fridays.  There is no fee to co-host.  You'll just need to follow the guidelines each Friday.  Interested?
