Well done, a delectable combination.

How about 100km diet? I hate Nanaimo micro brews anyway.

I liked everything about this.

The animation gave me some good ideas. I love the basic concept of localization. The music, the pace, the fact it's from Canada. What's not to like?

It just occurred to me that the word "sustainable" will probably replace "green". I think it has more self-evident meaning, and it probably has less political stigma.

Does anyone else think this is happening? Or do you think the two memes will co-exist?

Kind of reminds me of the children's videos that would play when I was a kid.

I think that, fundamentally, they are the same thing, except that "green" is sort of a code word and "sustainability" is a little more specific.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Fantastic video.

My God this is Canadian... almost ~too~ Canadian.

"A lot of older people have memories."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. So giddy.

Interestingly, buying local may not always mean a greener purchase. See myth 10 here.

^ I'm always careful not to be too quick to listen to advice that incorporates evidence starting with "One study showed that..." because I don't know anything about that study, what their aim was or what the variables measured were. Sure, being sustainable doesn't mean being anti-global, but when I bicycle down the street and buy eggs from the neighbor's free range hens, I doubt their is any Carbon competitive source that would stand up against that.

I'd rather not get into the politics of "sustainability", but it's a charming animation in just about every respect.

Ok, maybe I'll get into the politics just a little bit:

For you individually, that's almost certainly true. It's a problem of scale. Only so many people can run down and get their eggs from their neighbor before they run out of eggs. That said, striving toward sustainability on an individual level, to be honest, probably is worthwhile, because there's almost zero chance that enough people will make the effort, so it'll never reach those limits. To put it another way, it works if there aren't enough people doing it to make a difference; If enough people are doing it that it would make a difference, it doesn't work.

So, how much dirty energy did I burn watching this very nice video?

more like 100 mile lifestyle.

Just tax the fuck out of fossil fuels, and the market will take care of the rest. You won't have any counterproductive volunteerist bullshit like somebody driving 20 miles to get 1 pound of local food and thus actually using more fuel per pound of food than globally sourced food that is shipped in mass through an efficient distribution network.

Hi folks,
This site is great! I'm enjoying reading the comments and watching the discussion. I had to laugh when I read grinter's comment/question, because *making* animation is not exactly a carbon neutral activity. My hope with the film is that it makes people hungry and more excited and curious about their food.
Thanks Videosift!

Such an amazing philosophy of food. *Promote the tastiness!
