By now, many people have heard of The 100-Mile Diet: A Year of Local Eating, which is the best-selling 2007 book written by Vancouver authors Alisa Smith and J. B. MacKinnon. The couple gave sustenance to a growing movement toward eating locally. The concept of the 100-mile diet has also given birth to something Vancouver fashion designer Kim Cathers likes to call the “100-mile rule”, which encourages people to buy only things, including food, produced within 100 miles of where they live.
