As of late, I have been stumbling across countless blogs and news articles pointing fingers at skeptical corporate messages, touting them as "localwashing." After thorough research, I've found that most situations actually are complying with the corporation's individual definition of local. However, the way in which each company defines local tends to differ -with some such as Whole Foods Market having different definitions for each region within the company.
Today, I came across this article which addresses the same issues while discussing what one state did in response. Check out the article below:
Last week, Sundari Kraft began a campaign to get a local farmers' market to mandate vendor labeling of food origins. "We need to restore integrity to our Farmers' Markets, and this will not happen unless we ask," she stated in an e-mail to the Denver Urban Gardens listserv.
