I was challenged to eat locally , from within a 100 mile radius of where i live earlier this year, so for 100 days Sher and I are consuming only 100 mile food
this includes every ingredient, of every meal every day. that means no coffee, no beer, no chocolate,no sugar, including every boxed good you can buy in a grocery store!! we have even added the challenge of no leavening agents as well, except sour dough starter. Owning a produce store helps a great deal, as i can find out exactly which product is produced by which farm. With spring coming on late this year..it was tough getting started by we are doing ok with it now. Although it is a tall order making all your food from scratch we feel a lot better eating this way, and most likely will continue in winter albiet not 100 percent |

Good on ya Pete. I would never go to that extreme but it does focus on how much transportation is in our food. Particularly in produce, I at least give preference to Ontario grown but beyond that it is really difficult because of labelling. I could have product of USA that is in the 100 km zone and product of Canada that is grown 3000km away. There are some no brainers though. At the grocery store this week I saw apples from South Africa. Why the heck would anyone fly apples from South Africa when they grow in our own back yard!
