I am thrroughly intrigued by this 100 mile diet that I recently came upon, (eating within 100 miles of your home/localvores/eating locally). Has anyone tried this diet?
Was it difficult? Did you miss anything? What are your ideas? Would you try this diet? What made you or would make you decide to try it? Anything else you'd like to tell me about it!! Thanks

The cafeteria at my school (its a boarding school) has started only buying local stuff with the aim of the 100 mile diet in mind. I'm not sure if they're completely following it, but it seems to be working out well. The staff made a bristol board thing that shows our school and then the 100 mile radius and where everything is coming from. It seems like it'd take a lot of effort and it probably only works so well cause they have to feed 500 people each meal so they can get large orders. We are getting all our meat from farms locally and fruit and vegetables in the summer. I'm fairly sure for the winter, they've accepted that it isn't really feasible but it worked for sept/oct/nov so it probably is possible. It would probably be easier if you lived in a warm climate... instead of Canada.
That's my two-cents at least.

Would you have to walk to your dining destinations?
I could eat very, very well within a 100 mile radius.
