Group agrees to eat food produced near home SEATTLE - A group of local residents have committed to eat only food grown within 100 miles of home for the month of August, which means they've given up coffee, bananas, pineapples and most processed foods from cereal to crackers. The experiment is supposed to give people a taste of what it means to support local farmers and businesses, while they eat food that is fresher, healthier and better tasting. The group also is reducing the use of fossil fuels to ship the food and avoiding international food safety concerns. ``I'll agree to anything,'' said Scott Bilstad, whose wife, Dr. Melissa Larson, persuaded him to join the effort. ``Then the first day comes, and I'm like, `What am I going to eat for lunch?' '' The Green Lake neighborhood couple are sharing the experience with about 80 other local residents. -From Register-Guard and news service reports |
