The Hundred Mile Mistake (and subsequent 87 foot reparation)

So... This Blog Was Originally Entitled, "The Hundred Mile Diet." I'd spent months envisioning topics, a voice, ways to backlink the blog to my shop, images, you name it. I could swear I remember using Google to make sure the name wasn't in use already.

Naturally, before I began writing, I checked again and was dismayed to find that either I'd jumped to a different timeline and was suffering from some blatant attack from Mandela and his time hopping, BerenSTEIN bear pranksters, or... Well, that's all I can really think of.

I'm currently in contact with the authors of the other Hundred Mile Diet. Maybe if we walk a hundred miles in each other's shoes we can reach some conclusion where I can use the name I'd originally planned while making sure to clarify that we have no professional association. And hey, that sounds like some juicy opportunities for affiliate links. 

But until then, rather than risking infringing on anyone's copyright, I'd rather get the same message across with a different metaphor. Even if it's longer and doesn't roll off the tongue quite as smooth. (Might have something to do with the extra two dozen syllables) 🤷

The plant produces vibrant yellow flowers in early spring, which develop into tart, edible berries by late summer. However, it's the root of this plant that has garnered the most attention in traditional practices. The root bark is bright yellow due to the presence of alkaloids, particularly berberine, which gives it...
