As a person who writes down everything she eats every day (seriously, every day, with a pile of tiny notebooks going back years and years), I’m oddly interested in Mark Bittman’s food journals.
Sometimes I wonder how many string cheeses and peanut butter jelly sandwiches I’ve eaten over the years. Anyone want to do free data entry for a week? Bonus look into my psyche.
I really want someone to make her food logs digital so I can create neat looking graphs out of the data.
“2008 saw a 3.76% increase in string cheese, but a surprising drop (5.95%) in mini Snickers bars.”
“Targeted 10% y/y increase in foreign alcoholic beverage consumption, 8.76% of it comprised of red wine.”
