We have no fats other than butter. It's unclear to me if my heart might stop working due to copious amounts of butter eating.
Today, day two, was our biggest challenge yet.
We're barely out of the gate and there is already willful cheating and vicious bouts of mid-afternoon low blood sugar rage.
The momentary freak out subsided, we got through the day and made sure to pack extra food for work tomorrow.

One housemate brought up a good point about the range of our strictness when offered free food or waste-destined food? When food not bombs gives us peppers, clearly from ultra far, do we take them because they were saved from the trash to feed us? In principle we support that work and that notion. But how does that fit with Total Local? What is the point? If that point is simply to save resources by avoiding long haul foods -- then it makes sense to take the free foods or waste. But if the point is to experience what is grown in the region, to get to know your food process, to be conscious of all the morsels we take for granted and watch your resource use -- then the free food doesn't fit. But it's recovered waste and free, maybe that changes the debate?
