The Consumers Union is partnering with the Eat Well Guide in a program to encourage folks to incorporate local foods into their Thanksgiving dinners. CU is collecting and posting recipes, and EWG has a directory of farmers' markets and other places where you can find local foods.
Puget Sound Fresh is promoting the same general idea, asking folks to take a pledge promising that they will have at least one local food item on their holiday tables. One local food really doesn't sound like much, but I think this kind of approach has a lot in common with the 100 Mile Diet program, where people pledge to eat all local food for a period of time. They're really just ways to get us thinking about where our food comes from, and anything that moves people in that direction seems like a good idea to me.
