近幾年，我們餐桌上的很多東西都經(jīng)歷了安全危機(jī)。好像一時之間，很多東西都不能吃了，可是不吃這些，你又能吃什么呢？于是，家里有條件的人們開始動手自己種菜了，陽臺和小區(qū)的花園都成了蔬菜水果種植基地。這樣的“自產(chǎn)綠色食品”倒是很健康，可是有多少人能真正受益呢？

100-foot diet is a diet that consists mostly or exclusively of food grown in one's garden.

100-foot diet指餐桌上的食物大部分或者全部來自于自家花園產(chǎn)出的作物，稱為“自產(chǎn)綠色食品”。

The 100-foot diet emphasizes on reducing one's carbon footprint by growing most of the food you consume closer to home, the distance from the garden to your dinner table is within 100 feet. With health and affordability in mind, more people are taking the plunge and are growing their own fruits and vegetables.

“自產(chǎn)綠色食品”強(qiáng)調(diào)通過在家門口種植食材來減少碳足跡，從種植食材的花園到餐桌的距離一般不超過100英尺。現(xiàn)在越來越多的人從健康和經(jīng)濟(jì)的角度出發(fā)，開始自己動手種植蔬菜水果。

Major benefits of 100-foot diet include:
