To begin this adventure I quote Henry David Thoreau...'Things do not change; we change.'
I learn and I change. I evolve, I grow, I somewhat understand and more than ever, I question. Curiosity drives me.
Now, I am wondering about food. It is essential to our existence, eating is something all living creatures must partake in to survive. I have been eating and drinking all my life (sometimes to shameful excesses) and often wonder...am i really what i eat?
Our society seems so accustomed to the ease and accessibility of visiting a supermarket to get food but I want to know how did that food get to the supermarket? How did its journey to the shelf impact the earth and the people?
These questions - among others - have inspired me to experiment with locavorism. A locavore is someone who only consumes food sourced from a 100 mile radius of their home. I will make an effort to live as a locavore for 30 days. During this time, I hope to exlpore and discover if an apple a day is really possible and how?
Please follow me on my adventure!

i'll fully support you through this & even parktake in your quest to give an international perspective on being a localvore. let us see what food products i can consume within a 100km radius of the netherlands. could be interesting, but there shall endeavour to write weekly reports for you.
