My Organic Earth Day

Even if no one else was doing a organic local day I was going to. So I decided to, with the food we bought at the Bryn Mawr farmer's market to have Earth Day be a organic local day. I started off with a breakfast of oatmeal. The oats had 1 ingredient: 100% rolled oats. I believe it was organic; I'm not sure. The oats were, I admit, from Minnesota, but I had on of the rules down, so I decided to eat it. With it was some local less than 5 ingredient honey which we had bought from Gentiles (a produce market). I also put on some cane sugar from (gulp) Texas. It was organic and had 1 ingredient so I ate it. One problem occurred when I was halfway through eating my oatmeal when my mom said "Oh I gave you leftover oatmeal from the fridge. It had some regular milk in it." I froze. We had put in raw local organic goat's milk, but forgot about the milk already in the oats. Luckily, the milk said that it had no rgbh. It seemed like some chemical or hormone which makes the cows produce more milk. Looking on the web that day, my mom found a website that said that the rgbh was really the only thing that you wanted to keep out of your milk, or at least one of the most important things. I know my breakfast was a half- hearted attempt and I do admit that we hadn't really prepared for this day, something that will not happen during May 22nd. My lunch was much better at staying local and organic. Arugula that was organic from California, local organic sausage with rustic bread also from California with a local organic pepper goat cheese spread on the top. It was delicious, and tasted fresh. I will upload some pictures of my meals later. That day was a day of hunger though. It feels weird, because it feels like you can't eat anything, and you are usually hungry. That can all be avoided if you plan ahead. Halfway through the day, my brother taunted that he would buy wings, my favorite food, but I stayed resilient, though it was hard. In the end he didn't even buy any wings. In between lunch and dinner I had local organic yogurt which was the free sample which the Whole Foods man gave to me. For dinner I had organic local duck egg with organic local sausage. In addition was some local organic asparagus and some California organic rustic bread with local organic pepper goat cheese spread. I have to say that that was my most local organic meal of the three. Well now I have put to the test a local organic day, and have come to the conclusion, that though it was hard, it was worth it. I kept money in my state and saved fossil fuels by eating local and bought food that was humane and healthy. Sure it was really expensive, but who says you have to buy it every day. Just once in a while. Also you won't starve like me if you buy all your food in advance. Not too far, mind you, because than the fresh food might spoil, just the weekend before the 22nd would be good. There you have it, folks.
