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!

As I looked through the results on my carbon footprint I realized that keeping a good and healthy diet is important. it is important because compared to other countries we eat 2 times as much. This leads us to have more than 925 million people having little amounts of food. A way to decrease that is by not wasting food and The united sates alone could feed the world 7 times over. So why not send some food over to developing countries that dont have much.
I agree, strongly, a good diet leads to long life and many do not realize that. Many people are dying each year from poor health, Many countries in Africa, and Asia are suffering from lack of food. We have to appreciate the fact that we have surpluses of food.
