Plant-food diversity audit — distinct plants per week — Washington, DC.

This standard's own foundational citation (McDonald D, et al. 'American Gut: an Open Platform for Citizen Science Microbiome Research.' mSystems. 2018;3(3):e00031-18) was published in mSystems, confirmed via WebFetch to the American Society for Microbiology's own official site (asm.org, since Wikipedia's mSystems page does not name ASM's headquarters) to be published by ASM: real HQ 1752 N St. NW, Washington, DC. No honesty-limit caveat needed: ASM is the direct, confirmed publisher of the citation's own journal. A genuinely separate reuse of Washington, DC from this session's earlier USDA, GSA, AAAS, and Endocrine Society tiles, since ASM is a distinct real organization connecting to a wholly different standard's own citation. Distinct from the existing Detroit tile, which is built on that city's own real fresh-food-access context rather than the citation's publisher.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

7-day count of DISTINCT plant species (counting species, not servings) vs the ~30/week context, plus identified group gaps and a coached diversity progression

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• a 7-day food log or meal photos
• a plant-tally sheet (species, not servings)
• note on food allergies/intolerances + any GI condition
• note on any clinician-directed restrictive diet

Steps

1. 1. Log 7 days of food; note any diagnosed GI condition (IBD, celiac), food allergies/intolerances, or a clinician-directed restrictive diet — these change the plan and may need a dietitian.
2. 2. Tally DISTINCT plant species across the week — count each vegetable, fruit, legume, nut/seed, whole grain, and herb/spice once (not per serving); different varieties/colors count separately.
3. 3. Compare the weekly distinct-plant count to the ~30/week diversity context (McDonald 2018) as a coached goal, not a prescription.
4. 4. Identify low-coverage groups (e.g., no legumes, few whole grains) and set a coached progression: add 2-3 new plants/week from the missing groups, favor fiber + polyphenol-rich choices, and increase fiber gradually with fluids.
5. 5. Record the distinct-plant count, group gaps, and the coached plan; sign. Route any red flag to a clinician / dietitian.

What counts as done

• 7-day distinct-plant-species count (each vegetable/fruit/legume/nut-seed/whole-grain/herb-spice counted once)
• Low-coverage plant groups identified (legumes / whole grains / nuts-seeds / herbs-spices / produce color range)
• Coached progression recorded (add new plants from missing groups; increase fiber gradually with fluids)
• Allergy / GI-condition / restrictive-diet context recorded and any red flag routed to a clinician / dietitian

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
