  • (upbeat instrumental music)

  • - I care about the environment.

  • - About hunger.

  • - About food.

  • - One third of all food produced worldwide is wasted.

  • - And we needlessly pollute by shipping perishables

  • all over the world.

  • - That's why I believe in buying seasonal,

  • local, whole foods.

  • - Unless it's inconvenient.

  • - I always buy produce from my local farmer's market.

  • Unless it's raining.

  • - Or if it's too hot outside.

  • Or too cold.

  • - Or if I wake up too late.

  • Or if I have something else going on that day.

  • - But otherwise yeah, totally, farmer's market.

  • Because the food we buy affects all of us.

  • - All of us.

  • - When I support local farmers,

  • I support my own community.

  • - I support a cleaner environment for everyone.

  • - So when I do get to the farmer's market,

  • I'm making a difference.

  • Except I don't buy onions there

  • because they're like five dollars for a single onion.

  • - I could buy a whole bag of onions at

  • the grocery store for that.

  • - And meat.

  • - Right, I don't get meat there.

  • Or milk.

  • - I mean it looks great.

  • - It looks delicious.

  • - But I'm not made of money

  • and I'm not sure I'd be able to taste the difference.

  • - But I definitely buy carrots and shit.

  • - Carrots and shit.

  • - Sometimes.

  • Unless the produce looks kinda shitty.

  • Sometimes it looks like shitty.

  • - Or it's a vegetable I've never seen before

  • and I'm scared of it.

  • What is this thing

  • and how do I cook it?

  • - But I'll still buy margarita mix from that one stand.

  • - Or artsinal soap.

  • - Or tacos from the taco truck that sits idling next to

  • the market all day.

  • That still counts right?

  • - Sure, it's still at the farmer's market.

  • - We're thinking more about our food.

  • - Because we're living in a world where one trillion dollars

  • of food gets wasted, every year.

  • - 25% of all calories produced never get consumed.

  • - I think about these things.

  • So, with the exceptions I just mentioned,

  • I shop at the farmer's market.

  • - The farmer's market.

  • - Unless I'm really hungry.

  • - Then I just go to McDonald's or something.

  • - But only when I'm hungry.

  • - Or...tired.

  • - Or if I'm just in the mood for some McDonald's.

  • - But I definitely buy a potato

  • or something from the farmer's market once a month at least.

  • - At least.

  • Certainly once every two months

  • because I care about the environment.

  • Although I do also drive to the farmer's market.

  • - That's probably not good.

  • - Well, at least you could say I'm trying.

  • Kind of.

  • - Kind of.

  • - Kind of.
