Pe 21 martie 2005, un cuplu a început să mănânce doar alimente produse pe o raza de 160 km. Ce s-a întâmpla după un an în care au ținut această "dietă"

In 2005, Vancouver writers Alisa Smith and J.B. MacKinnon embarked on a year-long experiment to consume only locally sourced food within 160 km of their home. Their project, known as the 100-Mile Diet, gained significant attention, leading to a popular blog and a book. They faced challenges, including limited knowledge of gardening and access to local markets, and made exceptions for salt. Their experience highlighted the environmental impact of food transportation and sparked a broader conversation about local eating and community engagement. After the experiment, they continued to support local farmers and adapt their diet, although some previously excluded foods returned.
