I posted previously about the two Vancouver folks doing the 100-Mile Diet. Well now there’s a book coming, but, in the meantime, check out the website. I love the design.

http://100milediet.org/

Learn about eating locally. Get started on your own “eat local” diet. Tell your stories. Find your 100 miles.

It’s a cool site.

And it’s true, you can live in places where it’s harder to eat locally. The point is to think about your food. To think about how far its travelled. The average North American meal travels at least 1,500 miles from farm to plate.

I do believe that lots of small changes can help make big change. So if you’re in Prince George or Winnipeg in the winter … maybe chosing grapes from California is better than grapes from New Zealand. Or maybe you buy a bunch of cheap, end of harvest berries in the fall, freeze them and eat them over the winter instead of those grapes. I don’t know. You have to find what works for you.
