Where did your breakfast come from?
Where does our breakfast come from?
This is an interesting blog by California real estate professional Lottie Kendall. If you have kids in your home, this will be a good question to discuss for every meal.

As he often does on Sunday morning, Gene was busy whipping up his yummy cheese and mushroom omelets today when his idle Sunday morning thoughts included:
Where does our breakfast come from?
So he read labels and discovered: our simple breakfast had ingredients from four continents.
North America
- eggs - California (the town of Ripon not too far away - we could consider this local)
- milk - California (likely nearby, too)
- cheddar cheese - Vermont
- marmalade - Canada!
- bread - US-state unknown
South America
- Parmesan cheese - Argentina (funny, right?)
Europe
- dried mushrooms - Italy
Africa
- salt and pepper - South Africa
I'll be walking down to one of our local Farmer's Markets in a bit, where I'll be buying local produce, maybe a piece of fresh fish or some artisan bread or cheese made here in California. And I'll be thinking how amazing it is to see where our food originates and how it travels the world to end up on our tables.
--- Just another benefit of living here!
