In this one from the Nation, video artist Molly Schwartz traces how far food travels on average from field to fork with lots of statistics...although we're pretty sure that agriculture consumes significantly more than 10% of America's energy. In the story that goes with it, Donna Schaper offers a fun meditation on slower fast food. (Via Gristmill, where there's a lively back-and-forth going on in the comments section about why we don't consider the travel miles of say, our electronic goods.)
