100 Mile Challenge

[Lisa]

Did anyone watch 100 mile challenge last night at 9pm on Planet Green.
Is anyone trying to do the 100mile challenge

Don't have a T.V. and missed it. Can you sum it up??? Always looking for a new challenge!!

100 Mile challenge is 100 days of eating/ cooking with things grown / produced within 100 miles of your door. It is also a show following 3 families that try to complete challenge

We do not have TV either. Thanks for explaining it :)
We have made a point of eating local for a few years. We are at about 80% now, I think.
For a short-term 'challenge' it would be easy.

This objective seems preferable to me-- Yet such sentiments are so easily derailed with 1984-ish 'double speak', or so it seems... I just received a call to action (or to attention) and a call very related to a 100 mile challenge-- The only action i am able to afford is to pass on the info, so that at leasts a few more people can be alerted to powers which might defeat one's best intentions. (Intentions like choosing very local food sources).

Quote follows--
"In the most ambitious power grab we've ever seen, corporate agribusiness is trying to write itself into the Ohio constitution- and if it succeeds there, you can be sure that this greedy play will be made in other states. I'm working with small farmers and other concerned citizens to prevent that threat from becoming a reality- and we have less than two weeks to defeat this ballot initiative. Can you help us fund radio ads to defeat this terrible take over?

While masquerading as an attempt to improve food safety and animal welfare, Issue 2 would give a board of political appointees unchecked power to decide any and all regulations related to animal agriculture. The board could make decisions that radically shift policy in any direction on issues like the use of antibiotics and growth hormones, genetically engineered animals, cloned animals, animal ID and traceability, and factory farm zoning regulations ..."
