Food For Thought, Jan. 18, 2006 – The Hundred Mile Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week I talked with Alisa Smith and James MacKinnon, freelance journalists who live in Vancouver, and who are living the ‘Hundred Mile Diet’.  This means they are not eating any foods that are produced with ingredients that are grown or raised further than 100 miles away from Vancouver.   They began their year-long experiment in March of last year and have been documenting it in columns on The Tyee.ca<\/a>. <\/p>\n

A colleague of mine in Saskatoon, Amy Jo Ehman, is also documenting her experiment with the ‘Saskatchewan Diet’.  Check out her progress on her blog.<\/a><\/p>\n

Vancouver’s Raincity Grill<\/a> restaurant will be featuring a ‘Hundred Mile Diet’ tasting menu in February.  I had a preview the other night and chef de cuisine Andrea Carlson did an excellent job with local ingredients and GM Brent Hayman also adhered to the 100-mile limit for wine pairings.<\/p>\n

I’ll be doing a podcast about the ‘Hundred Mile Diet’ in the near future, so stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
