Day 35: Yesterday's Juice

ENTRY FOR MONDAY, JANUARY 24, 2011

Yesterday evening, my juice consisted of an apple, 3 celery stalks, ginger root, 2 half slices of cantaloupe and honeydew melons, 10 spinach leaves (blended).

As I unwrapped my melons, I noticed that one package was from Honduras, while the other was from Guatemala. Although I believe that our world contains many different types of bounty, I also believe that there must be melons closer to my home and available for my juice right here in the good ole U.S. of A. I live about 10 miles from Ga's Farmer's Market. Why can't grocery stores work with local farmers for such produce.

By the time fruit travels from South America, arrives in the stores, await my purchase, then continue to await my consumption, I am sure that the quality of the produce suffers. How can we work to address this concern?

Day 26: Oops: Forgot to Blog...

Entry for SATURDAY, January 15, 2010

Out of 25 days, this is the second time that I have forgotten to record my daily juice selection in my blog. (Excuse...I am working on a diversity paper that is due TODAY.) However, no excuse is really good enough.

Breakfast: Honey Bunches of Oats and Almond milk

Lunch@ Golden Corral: I ate a Caesar salad, broccoli without sauce, mashed potatoes with a small amount of chicken gravy, cauliflower/without sauce, Lima beans, two yeast rolls, sweet tea and water. Other than the chicken gravy, yesterday was a MEATLESS day.

My pre-dinner juice included: two celery stalks, two half-slices of cantaloupe and collard greens juiced and blended with three strawberries. Then, I ate a cucumber, onion and tomato half-sandwich. All in all, that meal has lasted until this morning without any signs of hunger pains.
