100 Mile Diet: Local Eating for Global Change » home

[Guest guest]

Yes, we were talking about this a while back. I was just reading this morning somewhere that Nov. 18th (?) is Eat Local Day, lol. I'd love to take on the challenge of the 100 mile diet some time. Luckily, CA is such a good place to find local foods year round. I might not be able to be within 100 miles exclusively, but I bet I could sure come close.

I found the name..."locavore." My search led me to this site, which I found interesting:

Oh, so it *is* 'localvore,' not 'locavore.' I could not remember!

 

How cool is it that you have a truly local group that you can meet and

dine with! I don't think there are any in my area but I will have to

check just in case...

Well, I could not either without permanently giving up all citrus

fruits, avacados, cocnuts, bananas, etc., which I don't want to do.

On the other hand, the bulk of my diet could easily be within 100

miles if I had the time and money. (Mainly money.) There is an

organic CSA farm that delivers to my neighborhood each week during

the warm months (about 6 months each year) but it's VERY expensive.

My 5 year goals includes enough financial recovery in about 3-1/2

years that if all works well, I *might* be able to do it at that

time...

I googled it for my area, but I couldn't find anything. Fortunately, I have a Weston A. Price chapter in Sacramento, and I think that's pretty good, lol.

Hmmm....unfortunately, no. Not that I've ever seen. I think Vermont is more progressive than Michigan when it comes to the "localvore" stuff. You can go into high end stores and find Michigan made products, but it's the gift-giving type of stuff, not everyday food. Detroit has a strong "healthy food" community in that there are a lot of organic farms, CSA's, vegetarian groups, health food stores, macrobiotic restaurants, etc., but the "localvore" thing hasn't caught on...yet. <wink-wink> Ann Arbor is the most progressive community in Michigan for that type of stuff, so I'm waiting for it catch fire there and spill over to the Detroit area from that-a-ways.

 

I did Google "localvore Michigan" and came up with nothing. How disappointing! I expected to at least there to be some mention of it in Ann Arbor. <big sigh> Maybe I'll have to start my own movement? LOL!

P.S. You're right, Ellen...changing part of your diet is better than none at all.

I've found that even our local grocery stores have a section of Vermont grown/made food products. Yours probably do too. Just today I was amazed to find Vermont organic bread I can't do it all but I can change at least a portion of my diet.Ellen ChristianLilac Hill Homesteadhttp://tinyurl.com/lpfaf
