Forget the Mediterranean diet, I’m eating only food from Shetland for a month

Dr. Alex Armitage has embarked on a unique dietary challenge for the month of September. During this period, he is exclusively consuming food items that have been grown, reared, or caught within the local confines of Shetland. This initiative involves a rigorous commitment to hyper-local sourcing, limiting his meals strictly to produce, meat, and seafood originating directly from the islands. The month-long endeavor highlights a distinct approach to personal nutrition, focusing entirely on indigenous resources for daily sustenance. Armitage’s project aims to explore the practicalities and implications of a diet confined solely to the food available from a specific geographic region over an extended period.
