    Very interesting article!

    I am curious if your grocery bill increased, decreased, or stayed the same.

    I am also curious if your weight increased, decreased, or stayed the same. It would seem by only eating local, you wouldn't consume any processed foods and you might lose weight. I guess that would depend on how much processed foods were consumed before the 30 days of eating locally.

    I love to grow veggies in the summer and enjoy eating them knowing they traveled all of 20 feet from my garden to my kitchen.
