What did you learn about dietary choices from using the footprint calculator? Now imagine that you could translate what you learned into an effective societal policy on food- what would it be? And how would this policy effect the need to alleviate world hunger?
925 million people on earth do not have enough to eat according to the FAO [Food and Agricultural Organization]. That's almost 1 in 7 inhabitants of our planet!

Food and Hunger
We have many other foods we can eat other that animals. My policy would be grow the foods you buy since most of the items we buy, we can grow, so why not just re-grow it, and have your own. It might not benefit the store as much since you don't have to spend as much, but it helps the earth and saves you money.
I like the idea of re growing your own and not having to spend money. It helps save more land space.
