The Eat Local National Challenge - Why a Local Foods Challenge?

What is “local”? Usually an Eat Local Challenge refers to the localvore definition of any food grown or raised within 100 miles (see www.100milediet.org to get your home’s radius). The State of Vermont defines local using the state borders or within 30 miles.
