E JANE,
I would have thought that after 11 yrs at school in the UK everybody would know what kind of vegetables are grown locally.

A very wide range, enough to make a huge variety of broths and sensible foods during the whole winter, hardly any need for meats.

Primal man ate meat and fish so for optimum health why would we not? Keep portions small and locally produced. Fish from sustainable supplies. Would this be a reasonable way to proceed?
Potatoes I would avoid. Most obesity is casued by too much starch that spikes sugar levels and just makes you hungary again and therefore you will eat more. A small amount of protein makes you feel full and satisfied.

yeah , i know what you meen , we dont really do lesons on vegatbles lol, although i do love my vegatbles i usually eat any all the time

it should be common sense to most people but i think i only know from our allotment, i guess it was in the past and now not so much

I find that this is a really useful reference for what is in season and at it’s best: http://www.eattheseasons.co.uk/ it helps to be reminded sometimes, even if you are a foodie ^_

that website has helped me a lot thank you, :D

If I were to eat only seasonal Scottish vegetables, I would be ill for most of the winter as i cannot tolerate neeps and other windy veg ! Oh well , the only thing i can do is buy what agrees with me and try not to add up air miles. Does anyone else have this kind of problem?

As a child of the 70s I remember eating cabbage sprouts and cauliflower all through the winter until I am sure I looked like one or the other, there was simply no other choice on the shelves. My husband and I are lucky enough to have our own allotment so we freeze pickle and store stuff to get us a way through the winter. Thats not enough we still end up buying out of season veg for a few months. We do however make sure it is European so the food miles are low. What else can we do?
