the one where I began my latest Nutrition 430 project. From today until Friday, my food budget is $4 per day. I’ll essentially be living below the poverty line; I can’t afford to eat anywhere on campus, and I can’t afford to eat out either! These are the groceries I picked out—they add up to just under $20. So this is all I’m allowed to eat for 5 days! I have to document how my social life/health/overall wellness changes throughout the week in order to better identify with those living on Food Stamps, and I’ll be able to gauge whether or not it is possible to have a balanced diet living on $4 a day. After Day 1, I’m already realizing what a huge challenge this will be. Dear Jesus, please help me use this project as a means of sanctification.
