“The more that you ask questions and find out where the food [comes and who is growing it, it’s going to totally affect what you buy,” the “New Girl” actress told LIVESTRONG.COM at the opening of the L.A. Food Bowl on May 1. “And when you buy locally, your food is going to be more nutritious, it’s going to taste better and it’s going to be better for the environment.

“And you might not be eating the same thing all year round, but it’s going to create a more interesting plate for you,” she adds.
