The 100-Mile Diet

Alisa Smith and James MacKinnon created a worldwide phenomenon when they decided to eat only food grown within 160 kilometres of their home.

We chose the first day of spring to begin what we hoped would be a year-long experiment. We had a single rule: every ingredient in every product we bought had to come from within 160 kilometres of our apartment in Vancouver, British Columbia.

From "The 100-Mile Diet, A Year Of Local Eating", by Alisa Smith and J. B. MacKinnon, published by Text Publishing, $34.95.
Read the article or even better, the book!
