I haven't read the book yet, so it's interesting to hear that the attitude I saw on the show also came through in the book.<br /><br />I think you make a good point about extremes, too. I think extremism of any kind is almost always harmful, no matter how noble the intention.Kunoichihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08548985882557242941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13402942.post-76382975152853067592009-07-18T08:16:55.392-06:002009-07-18T08:16:55.392-06:00Very interesting!Very interesting!The Travelers Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11467319849858303745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13402942.post-41045825064395267772009-07-15T09:21:09.211-06:002009-07-15T09:21:09.211-06:00Really enjoyed this piece.

I live on Vancouver Island so buying local is both good and reasonably inexpensive. I always try to cook from scratch, partly because it's better for you, but also because I really enjoy cooking. So I find the idea that you should only use ingredients from within 100 miles both narrow-minded and restrictive. What purpose is served by denying yourself coffee simply because it is not grown locally, for instance ?<br /><br />The 100 mile diet is an interesting idea, but like all ideas taken to an extreme, it loses appeal and validity the more restrictive it becomes.jadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291193100262435148noreply@blogger.com
