That idea definetly is an urban ‘elite’ desire. Northern Communities are a entirely different story. A northern individual’s lifestyle footprint is massive compared to the average city dweller, but the overall population is small enough that the whole footprint probably remains tiny relative to the city.

I always chuckle when I hear stuff about the “100 mile diet”. Guess what I can buy that is grown within 100 miles of my home??? Nothing. I know that most people in Canada live within 100 miles of the american border and the greenhouses of Surrey and Niagra but there are a few of us who don’t and must use our freezers and stock up or we would starve. Can’t live on moose meat and blueberries alone:)

I find that my shopping habits change weekly – last week, for example – I did’t have any food at all – I just ate on/around campus. Once a week is probably the best approach but that assumes that I will eat all of my perishables in that time – which I often don’t given my somewhat odd hours.

What about embarking on a major market day every week? or 2 weeks then?

I live in a residential area too, but it’s really great that a wet market is a few minutes from our place only.
