The food movement has exploded into mainstream consciousness lately - with everyone talking about food security, food miles and the 'SUV Diet'. Now more than ever, you are what you eat and our choices have serious environmental and political ramifications. To help you make the transition to sustainable and tastier eating, we have gathering some of our favorite healthy food advocacy organizations. Enjoy!

The 100 Mile Diet Society works to raise awareness about the need to eat locally and avoid what founders Alisa Smith and James MacKinnon dubbed the 'SUV Diet' - a diet where most ingredients on a typical North American plate have traveled more than 1,500 kms. http://www.100milediet.org/
Don't let the name fool you, the Toronto Vegetarian Association, is a great resource for information on the environment, health, animals and fine green cuisine. http://www.veg.ca/
