There's a developing movement in the United States today concerning the food industry. Books are filling shelves on the value of fresh foods and breaking away from the mass production model. Organic produce is showing up in all kinds of stores, including Walmart. There's also two new movies out on the subject, Food, Inc. and FRESH. So, what does the Glocal Family think of all this, plus an interview with Door to Door Organics.

This week on the podcast, we talked about fresh food and how, through Door to Door Organics, you can have fresh fruits and veggies delivered to your door. But what do you do with that bulk order when it arrives? How do you not lose that great produce in the back of the crisper? This week, Anita shares her tip to not only keep food from being forgotten, but also to make prep easier the rest of the week.

Door to Door Organics delivers fresh organic produce and groceries throughout Colorado, Michigan, and the East Coast. This week, we were thankful to have the companies new president, Chad Arnold join us for an interview.

I don't use any bread in my 'hamburger salad' but feel free to fix your hamburger however you like.

Tip: make sure the ingredients you add to your hamburger mixture are going to grill well (i.e. don't add avocadoes) and don't add too much. You're going to want the majority of the mixture to be hamburger meat.
