For those of you who missed it, last Sunday I started this new series so that I could actually quantify how much of my diet is local. Last week, I scored an 82% which included one meal eating out with my hubby (otherwise it would have been much higher). I wrestled over the number, not sure whether or not I want to count these restaurant meals in the total or not, so (because I'm notoriously indecisive) I decided to do both. Without further ado, here are my numbers for this week indicating how much of my diet is from local sources:
Local food consumption at home only: 98%
Local food consumption overall (includes restaurant meals): 88%
As far as I'm concerned, these numbers totally rock. I'm really happy with them and I feel more confident speaking with people, knowing just how local I am. It'll be interesting to see how these numbers fluctuate over the weeks.
Thanks for checking in! Yeah for local!

Yep, those numbers are hard to beat!
That's fantastic! Did you eat your meal out at the Village Cafe?
I wonder where I'd stand now. The oils and grains I eat are not at all local. But everything else is...I guess it would depend on the meal.
Awesome! My goal this summer is to do a much better job than I did last year.
Was it a local restaurant?
Michelle - Yeah, I was pretty excited about them :)
Beany - No, I was hoping to go to the Village Cafe today, but I called and no one answered so I guess they were closed. The one meal out was at another locally owner restaurant (Blue Baker) that makes all their bread daily from scratch. I had an all-veggie sammy on multi-grain bread with honey mustard. It was great!
Kim - Good for you! It's all about growing a little more as we progress through our own personal adventures. Best wishes in your journey this summer!
