~Southern Hemisphere Diet~

[moss]

Normally i am totally an 'eat local' kind of gal but right now and going forward, i am soooo glad for our global diet options.

New Zealand: lamb of course, apples, kiwis, manuka honey, avocado oil

Australia: beef (which is mostly ranged anyways. as far as i know feedlots are few and far between in au)

South America: lots of produce. not sure about laws regarding pesticides etc. anyone know?

what other foods are easy to find/dont have a heavy toxic burden that originate in the southern hemisphere?

ps this is a support thread for people who are interested in eating from the southern hemisphere. i'm not interested in conflict or arguements here. i am interested in discussion with like minded folks who want to ensure safe foods for their families.

 I wish I knew more but I will be interested to read what others have to say. I live pretty far north and I sometimes wonder what my diet would look like if I lived this far south in the world!

I have to say I found food much much better in Australia than here. I didn't feel the need to buy local etc because is was all fairly local. Nothing was from overseas. And I think you're right about the lack of feedlots. Though I would say lamb is traditionally mroe popular than beef. pork is expensive and not very good. Plus the fruit and seafood is amazing. Sign. Makes me homesick.

Are you looking for suggestions?
