what an interesting clip! The 100 mile diet...very intriguing. I'm now searching to see if my library has the book PLENTY: One man, One woman, and a Raucous Year of Eating Locally by Alisa Smith and JB Mackinnon.
I agree with Sherry... a totally interesting clip and concept. I am wondering how you can do this in Indiana with our seasonal changes. But then I think back to my days before being a teacher. We had a garden and I canned or froze most of the food we grew. Sometimes getting back to the basics...is just that, basic. The power of this video is another example of visual media and our need for media literacy. "Sources that present opposing viewpoints are helpful to provide that [attempted] balance of evidence." (Callison Preddy 178) You could have told me about the 100 mile diet, but watching the video makes me reconsider my thinking about food purchases. Thanks for the inspiration. Cindy
