100 Mile Plan

Note: This is a plan specifically set up by me, based on my individual learning needs. I retain the right to change said plan, at any time, when I feel my health, emotional state, my effect on others due to the plan, and/or unplanned circumstances demand change.

The Plan: To consume foods and drinks grown and produced within 100 miles of my home.
Why? To aide in the sustainability of local farms and businesses, learn about local foods and where they come from and how they are grown, and the health benefits associated with consuming organic, local foods. Back to the basics.
Duration of Time: One year

Individual Plan Additions (due to the waving of my magic wand of rights)
- Coffee; not going anywhere but will focus on purchasing fair-trade.
- 100 miles: Nice, round number that can be altered slightly and only under circumstances such as peanut butter and ingredients that may be in products purchased locally. Used sparingly!
- Vacations, visits, leaving home, dining out, etc.: You will probably not see me munching on carrots slices and frozen watermelon from a lunch sack at Applebees. Meal decisions will be made with priority to local, organic foods ("local" being based on where I am) but may not always be an option.
- Additional additions may be added. Hehe.
