Food Tracking: Day Five

Breakfast

No breakfast.  Just boring old Blue Bottle Coffee and Straus Organic Low-fat milk.  (just kidding - there's nothing boring about that combo)

Lunch

Chicken Parmesan Sandwich from Mastrelli's in the SF Ferry Building.  Origin unknown.  It's nothing I can really talk about on my blog, but you should trust me when I say that I am lucky it was Mastrelli's.  I was worried that I was going to end up at Cheesecake Factory, Mel's, or Wolfgang Puck.

What's up with Snapple Water?  That was the only water available at Mastrelli's.  I begrudgingly drank it because I had forgotten my Nalgene of water.

Random aside:  I just tried to find a link to Snapple H20, but couldn't because they were hacked.  Who gets hacked anymore?  How year 2000.

Dinner

Tofu, cooked in peanut oil (Tofu was organic, from Garden Grove, CA - though I am sure that's not where the soybeans are from)
Salad greens from Heirloom Organics (Panoche, CA)
White rice from Trader Joe's - not organic.  Don't know the origin.

One excellent martini made by Jason - Bombay Sapphire Gin + Martini & Rossi Vermouth (origin - who cares)

Hi,

I have been reading your progress for the last few days.. I just wanted to let you know, and that I think you are doing an awesome job :) Esp if it gives people pause to thought. I know it has for me :)

Your Mastrelli's experience (and near-miss chain restaurant event) reminds me of your visit to Starbucks in February...sounds like it was forced by circumstance. In this case you were probably at the Ferry Building with out-of-towners. It's perfect that this happened during your journaled week because this is what happens to all of us in our everyday lives. You actually have more opportunities to control your diet than most people. This is the conclusion you came to after your Starbucks drama.

Yeah, so how you doing? What you think of managing your daily origins of food? Is this something you could do on a daily/weekly basis? All sounds fine from here, what can you offer to someone who's isn't in a large metropolitan city where this stuff is semi-easy to come upon?

I know I'm doing better on a regular basis, mostly due to forced dietary requirements. But because of where I live, I can really get nearly anything I want or could need. I'm fighting on a daily, yes daily basis, for The Good. But when I head out for lunch I'm so uninspired to do well. This takes everything I have to eat well at lunch. I'd much rather head to Al's Big Burger and get a bacon burger with cheese, soooooo good.
Maybe if I quit my job, that would help a lot. Just workin the garden and plan meals. I could do that.
