How is this a 100 mile diet food? I don't know much about the 100 mile diet but doesn't the product have to be completely made within a 100 mile radius? This site claims orange juice and Bolivian coffee are made within 100 miles of Victoria. When did BC start growing oranges? http://www.spud.ca/catalogue/catalog...endor%20gt%200 |
The coffees you saw are roasted locally on Salt Spring Island and Vancouver. |

I thought prices at Thrifty Foods were expensive until I saw that website. They have a distribution facility just down the street from my office. 7 bucks for 1 red cabbage? 5 bucks for 5lbs of russet potatoes? Seriously? |
The 100 mile diet doesnt really work that well in vancouver...that is, unless you want to live like a hermit and only eat washington apples and farm grown tuna. Its only if you live further down south it becomes a lot more plausible. Posted via RS Mobile |
^Each geographic are has its advantages and disadvantages. Further south you have citrus fruits and a longer growing season, but your still lacking many staples; wheat for example. I think there was a show about the 100 mile diet centered around Mission.. |
LOL @ stupid trends like this |

Wheat can be harvested in moderate temperatures (in the 20s to 30s range). So yes, most parts in Canada will be at a disadvantage. Which means a higher cost-demand ratio, hence, "doesn't really work in Vancouver". But that's just me though. I can never justify paying three bucks for a head of lettuce. |

If I didn't live in a condo i would start a vegetable garden in my back yard, then pitch my neighbors on the 100 mile diet and sell them carrots for $15 a pound. :thumbsup: |

I imagine they'd have gotten pretty sick of cabbage and squash by the end of winter. |
