Green and Yummy

Am I the only person suffering from green fatigue this Earth Day? It seems that every over-priced, unnecessary item is being marketed as "green" and somehow good for the planet. As if the conspicuous consumption of brand new items and high-rise condos can ever be sustainable. But some things are unarguably green—such as locally-grown, organic produce. The just-opened Table Local Market in Bedford Hills sells a large range of fresh produce from local farmers, "sustainably raised" meat and poultry, as well as cheeses, dairy products, and bread from local producers. The market also has an array of prepared foods for sale. While the owners were evidently too busy to respond to the emails I sent a few weeks ago, they did take the time to host The Journal News' Liz Johnson, whose blog post on the market has lots of details and photos. It all looks extremely tasty and, dare I say it, green.

The term "green" is definitely overused and has been turned into a marketing term, which is sad.
