wow, i found this to be a very interesting arcticle. and such a good idea at the same time. it's essentially the idea that you only eat food that comes from 100 miles from your home, thus eliminating the waste of resources getting the food from a farm to your plate. (like apples from new zealand...not that i've never had an apple form new zealand.) also things taste fresher and are much riper if they aren't from far away. and you are supporting more local farmers. yay! like the cherry orchard i was at this morning. our organization helped the landowners place a conservation easement on it, and we held a press release there today. damn, bing cherries sure taste great picked right off the tree!! i think i shoudl try this 100 mile diet thing. and what a better tiem to start, now. when the fruits are comming into season, the leafy greens are ready to eat and the farmer's markets are starting. first one tonight!

somehow happiness seems to sneak its way into my life and so i embrace it and take it with me as i move on. and while i'm moving, i'll try to make the world a better (and greener) place.
i love life, really, truly, madly, deeply. and by that i love the people, the planet, the possibilities. and i hope the next generation will love life just as much.
