I'm sure many of you have discovered the fact that DC lunch options are, well, not in abundance and that this town is run by two nondescript overly priced restaurants: Au Bon Pan and Cosi. Although Au Bon Pan has far superior pastries (that are half off everyday an hour before closing!), Cosi does have some good lunch fair and their flat bread is rather delicious. In fact, if you're hungry, you can just pop in and grab some bread samples from the bowl they often have perched on the counter top. But perhaps best of all, is that Cosi often has $2 off coupons in that run in the Express- the daily snippet of articles from The Washington Post that makes the metro ride that much more enjoyable. The coupon is good for any sandwich, salad or pizza and doesn't expire for at least two months. So while Cosi may not be the most interesting lunch option, you're going to eat there so you might as do it for a little cheaper. Oh, and the Signature Salad, it's not as healthy as you may think.

Giving up and eating at corporate chain restaurants means giving in to the corporate culture that is stealing our government and destroying our planet.
Progress does not mean picking the "better of two evils" that were able to raise enough money to pay off the media. It means withdrawing financial support for the corporate system that is driving our culture off a cliff.
Personal responsibility means not resigning to the convenience of a system that deep down we all know is not healthy for us or the planet.
Thank you Arielle.
that's why revolution and real change will never come from middle class yuppie white kids. we're far too invested in the same system we supposedly find fault in. we think it's ok to make small changes, because that way we can maintain the level of convenience we're used to while claiming to have some kind of moral high-ground on a few relatively mundane issues.
as if buying a hybrid makes a difference.
the food you buy makes all the difference. it takes almost 1000 gallons of water to make 1/4 lb of meat in your $2 discounted sandwich. that's only the beginning of the true costs of the typical american lifestyle.
so, you can berate me as some granola-loving hippie, but when it comes down to it, my lifestyle and what i'm saying is fundamentally rooted in REAL CHANGE.
