If you like a good feed of herbed lamb chops at the local 5 star bistro all the affluent climate neurotic need do to slave the insincere guilt from his vacant soul, is include some carbon offset coupons in the tip.

Livestock methane issue solved Gore style :-)

Another self-delivered pie in the face for the morally earnest. Okay, not pie actually....

Does the stupidity ever end? I can't even look at these people any longer with respect. I have often wondered, as has been said before, what would the unproductive do if the productive finally said, go to hell, do it yourself. If rational and reasonable thought is going down the drain just look what's coming up to replace it.

Congrat's to these guys for cashing in on the hysteria!
On the other hand ....Australia's economy pretty much depends on ag and natural resource exports......
And as I understand it the ag industry is dependent on imports of things like potash....
So really the organic farming business is capable of providing enough mutton and "aromatic" root vegetables to supply not much more than that one kiosk.... and maybe a few trend restaurants.
Maybe these guys would like to go back to scratching for grubs and trapping lizards in the outback? That'd go well on the menu!

This whole "100 mile" diet fad is the most retarded thing I've every heard of. And that's quite a feat considering the amount of retardedness floating around out in the ether.

Could you imagine the devastation to various economies if people actually fell for this?

Think of all the countries where coffee comes from. Mostly banana republics. Now take away their #1 export.

Poor Atlantic Canada. The Lobster (are people who harvest lobsters called "lobstermen?") industry would evaporate.

Screw you prairie provinces. Stop growing wheat to feed the world.

Do you like salmon? Well unless you live in BC or Atlantic Canada forget it. No fish for you!

Yellowknife residents.... forget thoughts of Alberta beef. Maybe you can shoot a raindeer or something.

Our family makes a conscious effort to buy our food local, but it some cases, it is impossible to do. We then try to buy food from the rest of Canada. We avoid, at all costs, any foodstuff from Asia(for obvious reasons). 100km restriction is just moronic. One's diet would be very bland.

One has to wonder if the bombardion/taliban jack/moonbat may coalition would ever try to impose a restriction on foodstuffs based on their carbon footprint? I could just see it now. Buying salmon from the same scumbags who sell crack, weapons and contraband smokes. Would not surprise me at all.

kingstonlad how do you know if you are getting local or Canadian produce? Half the time it seems the stuff is not labeled.

The global warming believers are nothing if not hypocritical.

No different than the minivan Mom who says she wants to vote green because she cares about the environment, oblivious to the fact that 9 times out of 10 when that 9-seater gas guzzling minivan hits the road she's the only one in it.

So in a perfect world the source of your food that will keep you alive is no more than 100 km away?? Welcome to the New Dark Ages. Who needs trade? Who needs to actually travel?

"....... Buying salmon from the same scumbags who sell crack, weapons and contraband smokes. Would not surprise me at all."

As long as I can get my 9mm ammo with my salmon and handgun!!

And the silencer!!
Salmon...over rated fish that tastes like crap. Trout,thank you :)

Justthinkin:

You do realize that Trout ARE Salmon right? :p

On the bright side Whole Food's stock is in the dumper, got rated a dog on BNN last night.

It is hard for greenies to make a buck because they hate money almost as much as they hate people.

We shop mostly at small, family owned markets. We have a relationship with the owners, and discuss regularly the sources of his produce. If I find out he lies(which I have in the past), we take our business elsewhere. Like boycotting Asian crap, it just takes a little more effort, and a few percentage points more in price. Overall, well worth the effort,

I just read that 100km limit. That is absolutely moronic. Is a 100km circle around Toronto going to produce enough grub for 5 million people? Not even in Greenie-topia.

Did the old buffalo fart at all when they were roaming my home where the deer and the antelope played?
According to the rule book we killed gazillions of them, I bet if it turns out they had a bit of gas, the numbers we killed will suddenly drop.
Buffalo Bill was doing the world a big favour by wacking all those methane spewing monsters!
He was obviously a very passionate environmentalist and years ahead of his time.

No thought given by any of these wackos that in the dead of winter in the northern hemisphere we have no local fruits and vegetables. Shipping fresh produce in is offset by the energy used in canning and freezing it for long periods. Factor in the productive time wasted too.

I wish these moonbats would take their new replacement religion to its terminal end and just go forage on foot for food. A year as hunter-gathers might straighten out some minds.

We are now in the Age of the Environmetal Man.

Anyone else noticing the symmetry with another perpetually enraged, dogmatic and intolerant faith?

The Phantom; Just think "Soylent Green" and the year 2022 when the movie was supposed to occur. That would be a solution to support Toronto within the 100 Km limit but not a very palatable one. So maybe you could do it, but only in a Soylent Greenie-topia.....

People should be nervous too when Gore and Suzuki are around.

Just go to Patrick Moore's website, Greenspirit.com. He discusses, in detail, how the radical environmental movement (IOW eco-marxists)want to consign the world to only consuming what they produce locally.

Remember, the Liberals did nothing on enviro file for 13 years, that'w why we must elect Dion, because Harper failed to fix their mess in 18 months in power, where Moonbat Opposition fought them at every turn on enviro and accountability file, among others.

"Yellowknife residents.... forget thoughts of Alberta beef. Maybe you can shoot a raindeer or something."

Actually, Reid at August 30, 2007 10:13 AM, caribou are indeed delicious and a pleasant change from beef, even Alberta's. The same goes with Arctic Char a cousin of tastey lake trout and salmon. Getting local food stuffs when possible is a good idea, both from a taste standpoint and helping out the local economy. My wife is one of many shoppers that Farmer's Markets attract.

Now that I think of it, using the "100km" as a marketing tool is pure genious. Taking money from those greenies by labelling it as such would be so much fun.

Once upon a time people never travelled outside of their own village. We used to call these people peasants. For thousands of years, people were inward-looking and insulated.

Now we call them Torontonians.

They're a sad lot of arrogant narcissists who feel that Toronto encompasses the whole world. I hope they cling to this delusion. I wouldn't want them wandering into other places and infecting them...

Thanks Warwick @ 3:23. Good thing I finished drinking my coffee away from the computer. :D
The coffee came from outside the 100km. region, but I offset that by having tomatoes & cucumbers from my backyard.

You would think that the "100 mile diet" would have little appeal in agricultural exporters like Australia and New Zealand. You might also think that "global warming" wouldn't cause too much panic in a cold climate country like Canada. Unfortunately, you'd be wrong.

CJ - Ya! You'd think that alright!! ;)

Warwick - unfortunately they (Torontonians or Qu-Ons) are here already (Calgary), in spades! I'm feeling sick.

If according to the wackos that cattle farts contribute to this GLOBAL WARMING poppycock bull kaka then what about elephant farts,buffalo farts,hippo farts and whale farts?
