100 Mile Diet - blog, book, t.v. show - Join the Revolution !


"In 2005, Alisa Smith and J.B. MacKinnon began a one-year experiment in local eating. Their 100-Mile Diet struck a deeper chord than anyone could have predicted, inspiring thousands of individuals, and even whole communities, to change the way they eat. Locally raised and produced food has been called “the new organic" — better tasting, better for the environment, better for local economies, and better for your health. From reviving the family farm to reconnecting with the seasons, the local foods movement is turning good eating into a revolution."

This revolution led to a television show called the 100 Mile Challenge on Food T.V. I caught the first episode last night and loved it !

"Throughout The 100 Mile Challenge, James and Alisa provide the families with expert information, tips, encouragement, corrections, and a series of challenges. The pair guides the 100-milers through the deep, personal transformations they will undergo in this "shared yet individual" experience. "

This 100 Mile Challenge takes place in Mission, British Columbia. "What better place to launch a transformational social experiment than a place called Mission? Why Mission? The search for the perfect town for The 100-Mile Challenge spanned the breadth of the Fraser Valley, a massive network of small towns and bedroom communities that covers some of the richest agricultural land in British Columbia.

Located 70 kilometres east of Vancouver, the town of Mission is nestled on a slope overlooking the mighty Fraser River, where several species of salmon swim and fishing enthusiasts can do battle with six-foot white sturgeon right under the Mission bridge. From rolling hills dotted with cows, to a manufacturing base that turns out $10 million yachts for wealthy American businessmen, Mission is a perfect petri dish of the modern-day push and pull between agricultural land and residential sprawl that faces Canadians daily. It's a struggle that affects all aspects of life, including what ends up on the dinner table, and where it comes from.

Mission is still home to commercial and hobby farmers who are no strangers to the arts of canning and preserving. Our 100-milers are going to need all the advice, support, and inspiration they can find to get them through the next 100 days."

Follow six local families on their 100 Mile Diet adventure on Sunday nights at 8pm on the Food Network.
