Based on the texts, Haddad and Bell would most likely agree with which statement?

Question

Text 1
Food writer Amira Haddad is sceptical of restaurant 'farm-to-table' claims, noting that few kitchens can source everything locally in winter and that the label is rarely checked.

Text 2
Chef Marcus Bell, whose restaurant sources most of its produce from nearby farms, admits that in January he buys citrus and tomatoes from far away. He would welcome an inspected standard, he says, so that the phrase meant something.

Accepted Answer

A. The 'farm-to-table' label would mean more if it were verified.. Haddad notes the label 'is rarely checked'; Bell 'would welcome an inspected standard'. Both point at verification.

Answer

B. Restaurants should stop using the phrase 'farm-to-table' altogether. — Bell uses the approach himself and wants the phrase to mean something, not to vanish.

Answer

C. Sourcing food locally in winter presents no real difficulty. — Both texts say winter sourcing IS difficult.

Answer

D. Most restaurants that use the label are lying to their customers. — Neither text accuses most restaurants of lying; Haddad is sceptical, Bell is candid about his own limits.
