I recently started using a sustainable vegetable-only vegetable delivery service called On the Slope (the Japanese name of which is 坂ノ途中 saka no tochu). I love it for a number of reasons I talk about, but I started worrying recently about the food mileage I might be building up. So, I decided to dive into the question: Are delivery vegetables sustainable?
