Maybe you’ve seen “Fast Food Nation” and “Supersize Me” and heard about the upcoming movie “Food Inc.”But what can you do about it? You can register for “Buy Local, Eat Healthy!,” part of U of I Extension’s spring gardening series. Learn about local food sources including U-pick farms, farmer’s markets, roadside stands and your hometown grocer, as well as the best time to buy local to get fruits, vegetables and herbs when at their peak.

The program is through the U of I telenet system with state horticulture educators from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Extension office, 1925 S. Meridian Road, Rockford. Cost is $5. Registration is preferred: go to www.extension.uiuc.edu/winnebago or call 815-986-4357.
