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 & Hunger
We should stop eating so many animal products. To ship the products alone is already plenty of carbon. If we ate more plant products, not only would it potentially be healthier for us in our human body, but it could drastically lower the amount of carbon as well as compared to eating meat products. So why continue eating meat products when we can do the healthier alternative?
You have a good point there.
