The Pink Slime Controversy

Posted on April 6, 2012 by Erica

Have you been following the “pink slime” controversy?  It’s been all over the news recently (check out these stories here).  The mass concern for pink slime, known in the industry as “lean, finely textured beef,” was sparked by an online petition to the USDA seeking to eliminate the product from school lunches.  The petition was ultimately successful, gaining hundreds of thousands of signatures, and raised awareness for a common practice in our food industry.

I’ll avoid upsetting your appetite describing how pink slime is made, but an incredible amount of people are very upset about it.  Many have vowed to not eat products containing pink slime, and supermarkets and restaurants are pulling those products off of their shelves and menus.  This whole controversy has inspired people to become more knowledgable about what they are eating, and has resulted in outrage at the findings.

For those of you vowing to go off the stuff, you can easily avoid pink slime and still get your meat fix.  There are many great local resources where you can purchase meat that is raised right here in Arizona, and is slime-free.  Cattle is one of the “Five C’s” of Arizona, after all!  Here are some suggestions to get your slime-free meat:

(1) Visit a farmers market to buy directly from the rancher or farmer. Then you can ask them whether their products contain pink slime (the answer will be “no”).

(2) Go to any Bashas’, Food City, or AJ’s Fine Foods locations.  Arizona’s hometown grocer has NEVER used pink slime or additives in any of their meat products.

(3) Check out a local alternative grocery store or butcher shop. The Phoenix Public Market & Urban Grocery, Tempe Farmers Market, and The Meat Shop are great if you can’t make it to the farmers market, as they have normal operating hours like a grocery store but stock all sorts of locally-produced meats.

(4) Go directly to the source. Most local ranchers sell their products directly to the consumer, and deliver.  Local First Arizona member GB7 Cattle offers the option to purchase online.

(5) Join a CSA (community supported agriculture).  With a CSA, you pay up front to invest in a local ranch or farm, and you get a weekly share of fresh produce and food (and many deliver your share to your door)!  Not all of them offer meats, but Chow Locally allows you to add local meat products to your weekly share.

(6) Visit the “Meat” section in Local First Arizona’s online directory to find other great sources for local, slime-free meats.

So there you have it: you can avoid pink slime meat and support the local economy all at the same time!

All Aboard the Party Bus

Posted on April 4, 2012 by Erica

This week’s Local First Arizona member spotlight is on the Real London Bus Company:

Are you known for being a bit unpredictable? Then consider traveling around Phoenix in a double decker bus thanks to the Real London Bus Company. We get a bit nostalgic thinking of our youth and the months we spent backpacking through England and Europe. With our Sony Walkman as our trusty companion, we walked those London streets, jamming out to Oasis and the Verve while barely avoiding being hit by double decker buses. Now a bit of that past is being rekindled as we catch sight of the red bus making its way through the desert landscape and carting dressed up dolls and blokes to prom, a pub crawl, or a fancy media event. Run by two British guys who longed for something familiar from the motherland, they decided to find a real London treasure. Instead of transplanting the Queen to our lovely desert, they opted to bring four double decker buses instead. The buses seat about 65 people each and provide a marvelous view! So if you’re looking for something out of the box for your next event or party, consider traveling in real London style.

A Local Guide to Keeping Your Dog Happy

Posted on March 28, 2012 by Erica

This week’s Local First Arizona member spotlight is on Happy Dog Phoenix:

If you’re a new dog owner or know of anyone new to the Valley who has a dog, then you know how challenging things can be when the summer hits. How long can you leave little Fifi outdoors? How do you console Fido during the monsoon storm? What native plants are poisonous to Alfie? Can your pooch get a sunburn? Consider picking up a copy of Happy Dog Phoenix, a first-of-its-kind guide to living with your dog in the metro Phoenix area. We’ve had to learn things the hard way over the years when it came to caring for our four-legged friends, and feel this book could have made things a lot easier and less expensive (umm…visits to the vet for scorpion and black widow stings?). This valuable resource has some some good advice about coyotes, monsoons, and what to do when the 110-degree days hit. Additionally, get the skinny on all the good things our community has to offer for your furry friends. Support a good cause and pick up your copy today – half of the proceeds go to medical funds for rescued animals. We’re sure your beloved pet will pant with joy from all the new ideas you will uncover.

Phoenix Adopts “Buy Local” Policy

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Erica

Just last week, the City of Phoenix adopted a new policy for its purchases: for goods and services costing less than $50,000, Phoenix must first offer the contract or job to a company based in Maricopa County or Arizona before offering the work to an out-of-state company.  With this policy shift, the City of Phoenix has adopted the true “buy local” mentality, which will in turn support Phoenix residents, businesses, and the city itself.

Phoenix is one of the first municipalities in the state and the nation to adopt this sort of policy.  According to the Arizona Republic, “Phoenix Finance Director Jeff Dewitt estimates $17 million worth of city contracts a year would be available to the local community to bid on under the new policy.”  With these sorts of dollars available to circulate throughout the community, it will undoubtedly have an incredible and positive impact.  You can read the rest of the coverage by the Arizona Republic on the new “buy local” policy here.

Tucson and Pinal County are currently considering similar policies to this one just adopted by Phoenix.  In a playful Facebook post responding to a supportive letter to the editor published in the Arizona Republic, Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton called on other civic leaders to jump on the “buy local” bandwagon:

Thanks to the City of Phoenix and its leaders for their support for the local economy!  With these sorts of commitments to our communities, our economic future is looking pretty strong.

Create a Wildlife Habitat in Your Own Backyard

Posted on March 21, 2012 by Erica

This week’s Local First Arizona member spotlight is on Arte Verde:

Despite the winter storm that just passed through Arizona, the calendar announced Tuesday that spring has officially sprung. This means it’s time to grab the gardening gloves and weed-removal devices and get started on beautifying your landscape. One of our ongoing obsessions is to work with Mother Nature by planting native shrubs, flowering plants and trees where native wildlife can find a place to rest or make their nests. Local landscape architects, Arte Verde Landscape, are on the same page by helping clients create sustainable Certified Wildlife Habitats (certified by the National Wildlife Federation). Creating a habitat is fairly simple, even for the weekend gardener. The essential elements are to provide food, water, shade and a place for offspring to be raised. Andy Page, owner of Arte Verde says, “We’re creating and helping our clients create environments for birds and rabbits, small wildlife, to have a safe haven in our desert environment. The bonus is experiencing the animals in a natural habitat from the comfort of your own yard. Imagine sitting on your patio watching hummingbirds or teaching children and grandchildren about the importance of creating sustainability for animals.
