Nothing says independence like eating outdoors (unless it’s fireworks — which are none too eco-friendly, though scientists are working on greener pyrotechnics — still best to leave them to the professionals and enjoy your local display). If your festivities are going to involve hamburgers, do be sure they aren’t part of the Kroger’s ground beef recall, which has now spread to over 20 states. If you haven’t stocked up for the weekend, check out our Eat Well Guide and find peace of mind in the form of delicious, safe, locally-grown, sustainably-produced food. Buying from local producers not only makes sense in terms of food safety — it also lets you support local economies — how all-American — and lower your carbon foodprint.
