For breakfast i had shredded wheat, toast butter honey and got apple and blackcurrant juice. For lunch i had Oatcakes and cheese. And apples. At tea time i had a cheese omlette and chips. In the evening i ate homemade shortbread.
Very similar things to eat from yesterday. I have talked to loads of people about this now. Food is political. Its in the public arena and the decisions we make about it affect our world- from what we choose to produce to how we produce it to packaging methods to transport to supermarkets to waste. And beyond. But the weird thing is that maybe 50 years ago most people would have eaten like this in the uk. And in other parts me the world its probably the norm.
...because lentils don't grow in the UK. The Idea is that for the season of Lent- the next 40 days- I will try and just eat and drink things that come from the UK. Not just processed here but grown here. So this blog will say what I am eating and log my trials and tribulations. If I eat/drink something from outwith the UK I will commit to giving £1 a time to one of the charities I support.

The Reasons...
1. Its Lent and its traditional to give up something.
2. Too much of our food travels too far. It might be most people's biggest contributor to their carbon footprint.
3. Think Global- Eat local.
