Are you ready to take the 100 Mile Diet Challenge?
When the average North American sits down to eat, each ingredient has typically travelled at least 1,500 miles—call it "the SUV diet." On the first day of spring, 2005, Alisa Smith and James MacKinnon chose to confront this unsettling statistic with a simple experiment. For one year, they would buy or gather their food and drink from within 100 miles of their apartment in Vancouver, British Columbia.

That site is a wonderful resource! If you haven't checked it out, please do so. What it doesn't have is either a vBB or a blog where everyone can comment and share information. I am not looking to replace what Alisa Smith and James MacKinnon have done - thier idea is long overdue and really is catching on. The purpose for this LJ community is to share ideas and to support one another once we decide to take the plunge and become locavores!
