In doing so, they are encouraging people to think about where their food comes from in order to eat more healthily and sustainably. To their amazement, they sign up dozens of families for the challenge. The pair will follow six to monitor their progress for the 100 days: the Clark/Vernons, the Haweses, the McIntoshes, the Peterses, the St. Cyrs and the Weremchuk/Williamses. Each family signs up for a different reason, but James and Alisa feel that this change in lifestyle will benefit some more than others, especially those that have very poor eating habits and resulting possible health issues. Some families feel that work issues and time pressures may be reasonable excuses for not following the diet. Others do have legitimate concerns, such as one who suffers from agoraphobia which will make it difficult physically to source local product, and one family that has the issue of feeding their picky autistic infant son. And yet others think the challenge will be no challenge at all. James and Alisa worry about those families that do not know how to cook well, but also fear that those that do or already produce much of their food may believe the challenge easier than it really is. The challenge becomes reality when James and Alisa empty out the families' cupboards of non-100 mile product. In thinking about the challenge, some decide to grow their own food, perhaps not realizing that much of it will not be ready for harvest within the span of the challenge. After day 1 of the challenge, most families realize how unprepared they are. The challenge may be too difficult for some to start, let alone complete. Written by Huggo See less
