Welcome!
A Second Opinion magazine with support from the Farm Fresh Atlas of Western Wisconsin and the UWEC Foodlums welcome you to the Chippewa Valley's Eat Local Challenge blog-spot. In SEPTEMBER 2007 we hope you will join us in an Eat Local Challenge where for one month you only eat foods from within 100 miles of yourself.
We hope that in the up coming months you will join us for lively discussions about eating locally as well as your accomplishments and alternations to the Eat Local Challenge that will begin and soar through September 2007.
Our goal is the educate and bring awareness to the idea of knowing from where your food comes and knowing your local farmers.
Now we understand there will be some hestitation but what is a challenge without a little speculation; a little doubt. So Join us will you? We hope to hear from you soon.

Several people have already approached me and asked "Are you going to do the eat local challenge?" I wholeheartedly reply "YES!" Then we inevitably end up discussing things we'll "miss" while we eat local. Yesterday, my friend Kristin and I were having a similar discussion which led us to a great discovery: it's only July, so we have time to research and plan so that when September comes, we'll know where we can get what we want, and it will be an easier transition to eating just local products. So now I'm off to research...
If anyone knows where we can get citrus fruits or bananas, those are both big items we'd love to still be able to eat during the challenge. Thanks!
