For lunch today, I have a sandwich, soda water and melon.The sandwich: Breadsmith bread; lettuce, tomato and cucumbers from the farmers market; and Mackenzie Creamery herbed goat cheese. This sandwich is honestly delicious. I thought it would be missing something without any meat or condiments, but it rocks my world. Dan agrees.
The soda water: We drink so much soda water that we invested in a Sodastream two years ago. I love that we can make homemade soda water for almost free (need to buy new chargers every few months), and we're producing no waste.
The melon: This is my only non-100-mile item for lunch. (Fortunately for me its not July yet!)
The added bonus: This is a garbage-less lunch! I pack my lunch in a cooler, and use resuable containers, therefore producing no waste! An added benefit of the 100-mile diet means that we'll be eating out less and purchasing fewer items that produce waste (packaged foods). Not only is the 100-mile diet healthy for our family and supportive of the local economy, but its helping us produce less waste and therefore reducing our environmental footprint. A win, win, win!
