Local Fridge, Local Pantry

Just read a powerful article in the new National Geographic :

I wonder if I could feed my family solely on what's grown/provided/available in Texas? I'm thinking of doing a month-long experiment.

It would be pretty easy if it was just me, or me and the missus, but feeding a family of five (without depriving them of cool stuff like ice cream, chik'n nuggets, or mac & cheese) could be a challenge.

I'm sure I'm missing something. But since I do most of the grocery shopping, I might be able to have at it without the kids noticing. If it can, indeed, be done at all.

Hmmmm....
