The LDEI Green Tables Initiative is such a good idea. It should help everyone who loves food to understand that "think about what you eat" means so much more than counting calories. It means paying attention to where food comes from, how it is grown, and how good it is — in taste, freshness, and nutritional value. What could be better for us and for the planet!"
