Envirovores, keep your eyes peeled for the magic bus. It’s green, electric, shaped like a giant fly and serves smoked gouda with marinated shiitake mushrooms. On the Fly, a company started by three eco-conscious friends, plans to have a total of eight buses (locally known as "smartkarts") stationed around Washington D.C., each serving a different genre of chemical-free, locally produced foods, from barbecue to Asian fusion. The Vienna Beef guy is not too happy – many street vendors argued against the new change in the city’s licensing laws that allowed the green buses to set up shop on their turf. But we sort of doubt that On the Fly is going to steal his customers. The company says they’re targeting the health food crowd - you know, the ones of us that normally would bring a whole-wheat hummus sandwich to work. The finance chief for the company says all-encompassingly of the electric fly buses, “It’s Whole Foods meets 7-11.”
Wasabi pea slurpee, anyone?

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.
Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.

But we need one of those here in the SF Bay area. Maybe if it goes well they'll start expanding across the nation.
