Plenty

Plenty : one man, one woman, and a raucous year of eating locally / Alisa Smith and J.B. MacKinnon.
by Smith, Alisa

GREAT READ. This made me think about local produce - more expensive? Worth it for the environment? What does it mean to be "local"? Smith and her husband vow to follow the "Hundred mile diet" - eating only things produced within 100 miles of them, for a year. Surprisingly difficult. Even in our stores, in season, we do not purchase "local" produce. Lots to think about. We are off the local farmer's markets this weekend. Viva la vegetables!
