Mohammed was worried that the carbon footprint of his açai tea and schwarma with goji berry raita woud be considered haram by those stuffy locavores in Dubai.

The Arabic locavore was searching for food and found a pork shawarma with a goji and acai chutney but it was haram and also had a huge carbon footprint.

As a locavore both practicing haram and trying to maintain a low carbon footprint, I have found it impossible to include such favorites as acai-goji smoothies and schwarma in my diet.
