The Worldwatch Institute recently released a video short called Eat Here: A haven for food safety fighters to Slow Foodies.

Despite the title, it offers a solid, pithy introduction to the benefits of local food (focusing on increased safety, better taste, supporting farmers, stopping suburban sprawl, and supporting the local economy) – in an easy-to-forward format.  If you’re trying to convince your cousin Josh to go local, this is a good place to start.
