On the table in my small Berkeley apartment this particular morning is a healthy looking little meal -- a bowl of imported McCann's Irish oatmeal topped with Cascadian Farms organic frozen raspberries, and a cup of Peet's Fair Trade Blend coffee. Like most of us, I prepare my breakfast at home and the ingredients for this one probably cost me about $1.25. (If I went to a café in downtown Berkeley, I'd likely have to add another $6.00, plus tip for the same.)

It was Saturday morning and time for breakfast. I pulled a few eggs from the refrigerator and began chopping potatoes for home fries. The skillet warmed on the stovetop as I sliced shallots and garlic to season the meal. But before the ingredients could enter the pan, I needed some butter. So Peter, my partner, poured some heavy cream into the mixer and flipped the switch. By the time I finished chopping, he had churned up some pale yellow butter to grease the skillet. Our 14-day experiment in extreme local eating -- "The Hundred-Mile Diet" -- was about to begin.
