This post comes to you from our "Food for Thought" Department. This visual, which was part of a recent presentation by the Treasure Valley Food Coalition, says a lot about why "local food" is much more than a yuppie preoccupation -- its an issue of food security, health, enviromental impact...and last, but certainly not least, it's an economic issue as well.

If you're interested in discussing the implications of this graphic, take a look at my latest blog for the Idaho Business Review and offer your thoughts. It's not as entertaining as Kalimotxos or gelato, but our quality of life will be greatly influenced by where this conversation takes us.
