Zooey Deschanel Talks Food Origins

Zooey Deschanel and husband Jacob Pechenik have a new educational series “Your Food’s Roots with Zooey Deschanel.” Here's what Zooey had to say about it to People:

“When I started looking into where our food was coming from, we all of the sudden starting seeing all this opaqueness – there were all these walls to finding out where your food came from, but that is a part of how we socialize, how we interact with our peers.

There are a certain amount of restaurants that tell you which farm your food came from, but most places don’t know, and a lot of places can’t tell you where your beef or chicken comes from. We started realizing that wall was making it difficult, though we were curious and slight obsessive and even we were having trouble finding out.

...The more you eat local produce, the more fruit and vegetables you eat, the better you feel and the healthier you are, which makes it easier to stay fit and also the better it tastes. There was only like four percent of sustainable food production and the other 96 percent was industrialized, and that was just a big shock to us.”
