awesome Matt! Let us know how it goes!

And traineeinvestor, there are a lot of nuances to this concept. Going through some of the blog entries, there are plenty of different interpretations of the idea of 'local', and there is room for exceptions in the challenge as well. Location plays a huge role, and it's certainly easier to make it work in San Francisco than Hong Kong, but I guess you do what you can.

Of course the idea is that by trying, and in doing so beginning to ask the questions and get the dialogue going between food providers and consumers, you might be able to affect change -- which is more feasible on a local scale than a grander one.

And STJ, I hear the fishing's not so good these days on the Nebraskan coast! Seriously though, here is the Eat Local Challenge's Midwest posts, and here is a blog written by a cattle rancher in Nebraska. Even a search for 'nebraska food ' on google gives you plenty of resources for local food.
