My Experience: Well I can honestly say that I just had my best batch yet of UNIMIX (but it's still not all that great). For any of you going with UNIMIX for the challenge, here are a few hints: 

• cold water is better than hot
• more water is better than less
• Pinto beans are better than Soy 

My Reflection: Just day one of three and I can honestly say that my eyes are opened. I can't imagine eating this for a substantial number of days - yet I would be so thankful for the calories if I (or my family) was starving. It's a real perspective-bender. Makes me realize how pampered and blessed we are to eat for taste rather than just to stay alive. It also makes me sad to think that we live in a world with so much inequality of resource distribution... On that topic, someone pointed me to this WSJ article: Four ways to Ease a Global Food Crisis Over the Next Year. It's an interesting read about what may be coming just around the corner and some things that can be done to ease the potential crisis. I love that I'm part of a church that will take challenges like this! Keep at it folks and let's bring a great offering to church this coming weekend!
