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
I go through periods where I eat a lot of food and some periods where I eat very little. When I don't finish my food that lunch or any time I'm eating I try my best to either wrap it back up and take it to go or I give it to one of my friends who possibly hasn't eaten that day or just didn't have lunch that day. My mom would always lectures me to never waste food because someone would be blessed to have the meal that I have, so I take this subject very seriously and try my hardest to eat my food no matter what. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that 795 million people of the 7.3 billion people in the world are victims of undernourishment. I will try my best not to waste food and whenever I can donate as much food to people like this.
