With James and Alisa, the five families reflect on the past 100 days. The Weremchuk/Williamses probably made the greatest change in initially being non-cooks and who now respect the food on their table. James MacKinnon admits he thought the Weremchuk/Williamses would not have completed the challenge. Angela St. Cyr shares the changes in food spending over the time period and what she needed to do to keep eating local affordable. Steve Peters shows the results of his own wheat growing experiment. The Peterses also share their views of not making their three-year old autistic son, Markus, go through the challenge, and the affect the challenge had on Sherida Peters' time with Markus. And the Haweses admit they did not like the challenge and would not do it again. Besides the Haweses, there are experiences common to the other families: being closer as a family, losing weight (in some cases, a significant amount) and feeling healthier. On the down side, the challenge did require much more time and planning, certain foods were definitely missed (primarily coffee), and that there was not a strong local network upon which to rely. With the latter point, many felt the constant driving to source food was against the challenge's concept of reducing one's ecological footprint. Besides the Haweses open "cheating", other individuals disclose their non-100 mile food indiscretions within the challenge period. And the challenge from the children's perspective is presented. On day 114, the families reflect further on what their future food life will be like now they've had time to go back to their global eating habits if they've wanted. Written by Huggo See less
