      Hio,
      just saw the news report on BBc Scotland with a nice video:
      http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/7378319.stm

      Just wondered- does this mean you are not drinking any beer or wine or chocolate or bananas or orange juice?

      And are you actually loosing weight as well? What is the Fife allotment situation? Do you find that the bill for food is going up if its produced locally - I guess that you won’t use supermarkets to buy your food?

      Hi AB - actually we can get wine form Perthsire and good beer from Clackmannanshire. We get the vast bulk of our food from Fife and top up what we cant from surrounding regions. Chocolate, bananas, exotic fruit etc are out for now though of course ample Vitamin C in other vegetables and other available fruits (including frozen Fife strawberries, raspberries and brambles).

      Huhu Mike,

      how is your allotment situation in Fife? Here in Edinburgh its absolutely manic!
      I would find it funny if you have also all lost weight and would market the Fife diet anew in the weird world of Women Beauty mags - alongside all the other diets like the low-carbo diet or the pineapple diet or so:

      Does that mean that you don’t have any Zapatista coffee or Fairtraded products either?
      Do you get your milk, cream, butter, eggs and so on directly from the farmers?
      My mum went through one of these phases in the late eighties, but we gave up on it after the carrots became very wrinkly during winter! But it was fun making butter ourselves and stuff, although we never managed to source everything locally. My parents also were remembered about the wartime rationing when there weren’t any lemons and they were replaced by rhubarb or the sugar by sugar beets syrup and the coffee by some weird barley grain malty thingies.
