The 100-Mile Diet refers to the buying and eating of food that has been grown, manufactured or produced entirely within a 100 mile radius of the residence of the individual who will be consuming the food.
The 100-Mile Diet is aimed at reducing an individual’s carbon footprint and ecological footprint while supporting local food systems.
The phrase 100-Mile Diet was coined in 2005 by James MacKinnon and Alisa Smith of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to describe their one-year local eating experiment that was chronicled on an independent news and culture website The Tyee.
Their diet experiment consisted of eating food produced or grown within 100 miles of their home apartment. This included not only local produce, but also ensuring that any meat or dairy products came from animals that ate local feed and were packaged locally.
This innovative diet system to save our planet could be followed by every one of us.
Let’s start eating food grown locally.

Switch over to food grown organically.
Stop consuming packed food.So lets give it a try from today.
