I found it interesting that transylvanians purchase milk at higher prices in order to preserve their past. Transylvanians believe that their traditional way of producing milk is considered to be of higher quality compared to modern methods and that they believe their local milk is real whole milk. Locavores are people who argue that local foods are superior in all ways to non-local foods. Their arguments are unfair because they are claiming all these things with not much evidence. For example, while local foods might be healthier on average compared to nonlocal foods, nonlocal foods can still be healthy, and it depends on the source.
