So what is my goal? I am following the rules of 1. Organic 2. Local 3. Less than 5 ingredients.
For every food I eat, it must be 2 out of those 3 conditions. I know that that's not going the whole whole hog, but it's not practical for a growing person in Pennsylvania to eat completely Local and Organic. I'm doing as much as I can. I'll give you my meal plan tomorrow, but today I'll just give you my meals today. I started by waking up full and with some nausea. Yesterday I went to Washington D.C where I had some food which didn't suit me too well. My mom had prepared me local organic scrambled eggs, with organic local bread and organic local jam. My milk was organic and local and grass fed. Sadly, I was feeling so awful I couldn't eat much. My mom took advantage of this by using the leftover toast for my lunch sandwich. My dad and mom had gotten organic local popcorn which they popped in an popcorn machine and the microwave. Finally with this lunch, I had organic local yogurt and organic local lettuce. My meals when I got home weren't as pure as my lunch and breakfast. I had a snack of organic local spinach and mushroom foccacia sandwich with Wisconsin (oops) Organic butter. While I was eating this dinner was being prepared. It was Organic pasta from Italy with Organic Local asparagus and Organic Local swiss chard. It was sauteed in the Wisconsin Butter. After that I had a snack of Organic Californian strawberries and Organic Californian blueberries, along with Organic Local yogurt. So I managed to survive my first day.
Some thoughts:I never realized how much I snacked.When I get home I usually have a snack, but I had to wait for dinner. It's hard to wait for dinner.
Pennsylvania is not the easiest place in the nation to eat locally. Unlike California and Florida, it's difficult to get produce, especially fruit.
