I totally understand the limitations of being a college student and hope I didn't sound like it needs to be all or nothing. Every little bit of mindfulness helps :) Anyhow, I am replying to give you a little bit more information about the KC 100 Mile Diet Team. I joined a group of 8 other curious eaters and we explored the region in and around Kansas City to see what kind of local food was available and tried to prioritize sourcing as much of our food as possible locally. We met monthly for local food potlucks and wrote a series of articles about our experiences that were published in my friend's online magazine, PresentMagazine.com. When you go to the site just enter 100 Mile Diet in the search box and it should take you to our articles. You can also read a little bit about what we did on the KCFoodCircle.org website. We also compiled all of the articles plus a several recipes and a resource list for more info about local, sustainable agriculture on a CD and have been distributing the information that way as well. Cheers! ~Lisa Markley Hi Kassie~

As a college student, I sometimes find it hard to "vote with my fork" but it is an important concept to always be mindful of. I'm really interested in the Kansas City 100 Mile Diet Team, and was wondering if there was somewhere to go for more information about that?
