Day Four - Halfway There

Well if there was a novelty to this Challenge… it has certainly worn off! (Although I do have to admit that I am appreciating the cookies in my box – they seem somehow guilt-free in the context of the Challenge… and the fact that we are allowed to drink the coffee we have in our own pantry…). Now I don’t really hate Shreddies or the occasional white bun with margarine… however, nothing but these foods in sight is getting tedious. And of course my colleagues at work are caring… although one did give me a reality check today saying that many people would be grateful for the food I have in my box. He was right of course. It strikes me that I have the luxury of “criticizing” my foodbank box because I have the luxury of education and resources. I have been able in life to afford to make different food (and other healthy lifestyle) choices. Imagine a society in which everyone could have the resources and knowledge to be as critical of this food as I have the "luxury" of being… Things might just change.
