Slicing and Dicing the Challenge




Just how much is one ton of food, anyway? Sure, it's 2,000 pounds, but what does that mean in terms of nutritional opportunity (calories and nutrients) or monetary value, for that matter?

Just for fun, I'm going to estimate the calories that my one ton of food will have and an approximation of what it would cost to buy my collection of food at today's grocery store prices. It's a good thing I'm keeping track of my daily totals on a spreadsheet. That should make it a lot easier to slice and dice the data when the time comes.

Speaking of slicing and dicing, I just harvested a cute little head of cabbage from the upper garden. My cabbage plants set off side heads that I'm now ready to harvest.
