Emeril Green coming to the Discovery Channel

Fresh off his departure from the Food Network and the sale of most his empire to Martha Stewart Omnimedia, the Discovery Channel has announced that Emeril Lagasse has signed on to host a new cooking show called Emeril Green. This show will air on their Planet Green network.

The show will be set in Whole Foods Markets and will feature organic, free range and natural foods. According to the post at Treehugger, the show will feature a revolving cast of other cooks, farmers and food experts. I am really looking forward to seeing what Emeril can do with this format. We need more food television that focuses on environmentally friendly ways of growing and raising.

If you really want to promote "environmentally friendly ways of growing and raising", get the show out of the big-chain grocery stores. I don't dispute that Whole Foods is an OK choice, but they're not available everywhere, many of their products are either imported or have travelled quite a distance, and it's very expensive. Encouraging people to shop locally (when it's an option) is far better for the producers, the environment and usually less expensive for the consumer. Take the time to meet and develop a relationship with your farmer if you can.
