This is it! My husband (Michael), son (Aarod) and I have committed to a year living the 100 mile diet (but in Australia we will be working in kilometres - 160 km in fact). We recently heard of this diet designed to reduce our food miles (or the distance our food travels to get to us) and without doing much research at all have decided to go for it and take it on as our challenge and commitment for 2010.
So what does it involve? We are going to source ALL of our food from within 160 km of our house at Aldinga. At first glance this might seem easy enough, but we already realise we have a few favourites we will not be able to buy for the whole year - like anchovies!
More tomorrow.
