don’t eat oil…
…eat local instead. the [apple farm in Tipperary explains why](http://www.theapplefarm.com/environment.htm).

(this post was inspired by reading rob’s [michael meacher interview](http://transitionculture.org/2006/11/21/an-interview-with-michael-meacher-mp/) and a snippet i’ve been repeating that a new zealand apple shipped to europe by boat has less embodied energy than a local appple that’s been in cold storage for 8 months. i’m still not sure of the answer to this. but clearly the best option is to only eat local food that’s **in season** or stored unrefrigerated….)
