Eat on $3 a day

Step 5 Day 5 - How Not To

So, today is an exercise in how not to. I start the day with a quesadilla, and a surf session at Manhattan Beach in LA. What a good way to get an appetite!

The quesadilla cost about $0.50, and I follow it with an egg.

• $0.65

After this, though, things don't go as planned. My two most stylish friends talk our way into an industry-only fashion show, and get to look at the latest legging swatches, and the newest in sustainably mined green enviro-hip chemically etched jewelry, and then consume a whole lot of Mexican food, including a "Bionica" (a huge pile of fruit, yogurt, and dried coconut guaranteed to give you huge pulsing muscles filled with ), and a "Torta Hawaiiano". I can already feel that I've eaten far more than I want or need, and I spend the entire day being thirsty.
