This idea seems a little too idealistic to me. This health kick makes sense, and the locally grown food idea would be beneficial to the environment, but I do not think it will last. Many Americans are far too busy to uphold this sort of lifestyle. They do not have the time it takes to prepare entire meals from scratch every single day. In this article, it also talks about the inconvenience of seasonal foods. It takes a lot of planning to figure out which fruits and vegetables are in season and which ones are not, and it can make cooking far more difficult that just buying from the grocery store that carries them all year round. Rachel said, “A perfect example would be salsa fresca, which we normally use limes and cilantro in—both of which aren’t in season here when tomatoes, onions, and peppers are.” While this idea makes sense and could result in a very positive outcome, it is simply too much work for the average American. After a year of testing this lifestyle, Rachel and Tom decided to continue in this pattern of living, but it took them a long time to get to that position. They decided to make a few necessary adjustments to their plan, such as one restaurant visit a month, to fit their schedule, but they believe that his lifestyle is very beneficial to one’s health, wallet, community, and the rest of America.
