Crunchy Chicken is at it again. This time the challenge is to eat locally for a month. Details are below. I’ll post our goals in a day or two.

During the month of July you’re going to increase your consumption of locally and sustainably grown food and decrease your consumption of imported and packaged food. You choose the level of participation you want to do.

Think of this as an a la carte menu – you can pick as many or as few items to focus on.

Eat local:

  • produce (fruits and vegetables)
  • dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese)
  • meats and seafood
  • breads and grains

Limit:

  • pre-packaged food
  • frozen food
  • fast food

Make your own:

  • cereals
  • pastas
  • breads
  • soymilk
  • yogurt
