Think you’re eating local? Think again! In this episode of One Bite is Everything, host Dana DiPrima walks you through a simple but eye-opening exercise: making a meal and counting the miles each ingredient traveled to get to your plate.

Dana shares her own humbling experience of making a beef stew with local meat—only to rack up over 17,000 milesfrom imported spices, oils, and other ingredients. This challenge isn’t about perfection; it’s about awareness. And once you see the bigger picture, you might be inspired to make small, meaningful shifts toward truly local eating.

In This Episode:

✅ How to audit your ingredients and track their miles

✅ Why this exercise is a game changer for understanding your food sources

✅ Simple swaps to bring your meals closer to home
