Went to the farmers market in Portland and counted the food miles

Stood by the berry stall for 10 minutes and watched the tags. Most of the stuff came from within 50 miles, except the avocados, which flew in from Mexico. That one crate probably burned more fuel than my whole week of driving. Anyone else start checking origin labels after a trip like that?

Once you start noticing food miles, it's wild how much stuff we just accept showing up from everywhere.
