The 100-mile diet makes a lot less sense if the food itself is unhealthy and/or the production methods are environmentally unsound. A pound of ground beef grown 5 miles away is likely worse for your health and the environment than a pound of bananas grown 5000 miles and shipped here.
Oh, now I get it. None of the stuff he threw in the water was grown less than 100 miles away so he can’t eat it. Maybe he could have used some of that stuff for bait and tried to hand catch fish as long as the fish didn’t swim 100 miles to get there.
The end of oil is irrelevant. The end of economically viable oil is the issue. It is being extended now solely by attacks on and barriers to less damaging sources.
The funny thing with the 100 mile diet is the footprint for most the items is worse than those coming from the otherside of the world as shipping is a very clean way of moving goods.

But that tuna traveled more than any 100 miles to get back there.

These comics about shipwrecked people aren’t all that funny.
