Into the Wild Experience


Food: McCandless had a limited food selection. Now experience it for yourself: limit yourself to a small set of foods: Choose two fruits (I.E.: oranges and apples), two vegetables (I.E.: lettuce and carrots), two grains (I.E.: bagels and pasta), and two sources of protein (I.E.: eggs and cheese). Drink only water. See how it feels to be limited. Some philosophers (like the ancient ones he mentions) say that limits are actually liberating. See for yourself. 
Fruits: Banana and Orange
Vegetables: Corn and Lettuce
Grains: Bagels and Rice
Protein: Chicken and Beef
Drinks: Water


From this experience, it would teach me a lesson to appreciate the resources offered to me in my life. It would be interesting as I am also in cross country season which I have to watch what I eat. I think it would be difficult at the beginning since food played such a major role in my life and now I am being restricted.
