After doing the mapping for one meal it has made me question everything I thought I knew about where my food comes from! In the summer I always tried to buy fruit from the fresh fruit stands and I always have attempted to grow my own. I always buy all my groceries from my local independent store. After doing the research for my project I found that Loblaws seems to try to keep its meat very local and from Canadian farms for the most part.
