    The 100-mile diet is a great way to learn about your local farming community, get healthier, and choose a sustainable way of eating. It is not quite as serious as eating a hyperlocavore, zero-mile diet, but it is a great step towards a more sustainable lifestyle and will dramatically lower your carbon footprint. 
     
    What is the 100-mile diet?
    The concept of the 100-mile diet forces a mental shift from eating globally to think more locally to ensure everything you eat is within a 100 mile radius of your table. Though going cold turkey into eating within such a restricted geographical region may not be for everyone you can start with a single family meal. This forces you to research and explore what's actually grown close to your home and you’ll begin to appreciate not only the bounty of your local region, but the major implications of eating foods from around the world.
    Not sure what 100 miles looks like on your dietary map? Use this online mapping tool to find your 100 miles.
