Six families in the town of Mission, British Columbia, accept a challenge to consume only food and drink produced within a 100-mile radius for 100 days in The 100 Mile Challenge.  How hard can it be? As the kitchen cupboards are stripped bare, the families begin to panic as they soon discover it is not going to be as easy as it first appeared.  Items on the "banned in Mission" list include coffee, tea, chocolate, sugar, beer, pop, rice, pepper, most spices, tropical fruits, peanut butter, and commercial bread and pasta. So, what does that leave? Good question. The 100 Mile Challenge is a food revolution that documents the 100-Milers' progress, revealing the ups and downs, and downright creativity of ordinary citizens as they try to cook three full meals day after day from locally available ingredients.
