Read the passage below and use it to answer the question.
Think about the foods you eat every day. How many of them are from around the world? A lot of pollution is made getting those foods to us. And take a look at the nutrition facts. How many of the foods that you eat are healthy? What we all should do is have our own vegetable gardens. These can be made in backyards or in community gardens. This way, we would not only know where our food comes from, but we would be eating more healthy food. Everyone should do this as soon as possible.
