Where’s your fridge from?

How long did it take for all your food to find its way into the fridge? And no, I’m not talking about how far away the grocery store is… I mean how many miles did the food have to travel to end up on your shelves? Maybe it’s because I recently came home from Nigeria where we had no choice but to eat local food, but when I was in the grocery store the other day I noticed, with no small amount of alarm, the international assortment of produce available: green grapes from Chile, bananas and pineapples from Costa Rica, hot peppers from Guatemala, and the list goes on.

So what is our “need” to eat bananas in the middle of winter doing to our local farmers and our international neighbours? Are we causing Alberta farmers to suffer by having to compete with international veggies? When I was in Honduras a couple years ago we saw evidence of slash and burn farming on the hillsides. Our Honduran guide explained that the major fruit companies forced the local farmers off their land onto the hills. And farming the hills often means greater soil erosion and mudslides.

But is it realistic to only eat local food? I mean bananas and grapes are definitely not fruits that will grow in Edmonton even at the best of times! The 100-mile diet organization suggests starting small, even trying a 100-mile diet meal or a day. And we do have an amazing local farmers market in the city every Saturday in Old Strathcona. So I’m going to try…try to make tomorrow my first 100-mile diet day. I’ll let you know how it goes. But why not join me and we can journey together (though no farther than 100 miles mind you)?

I agree with your post, but a prof recently directed me to an article that questions this theory. It’s definitely a complicated issue.
