The 100 Mile Diet: Alisa Smith & JB MacKinnon

The 100 Mile Diet: Alisa Smith & JB MacKinnon
First published on 2 Jul 2008. Updated on 7 Jul 2008.

A young Vancouver couple attempts to only eat food grown within 100 miles of their home.

Sounds like a dull but worthy sermon?

Think again. What surfaces is a beautifully written account of their ethical food challenge.

The pair endures vicious rows, wheat riddled with mouse shit, and terrifying amounts of potatoes.

But ultimately they reconnect not only with their landscape but the flavours of real food. An inspiring read even if you've never hugged a single tree.
