While going through my carbon footprint results, I noticed that dietary choices have a big impact on the numbers that you will get. Also in the U.S. we eat double the amount of most other countries. If I could use what I learned and translate it into an effective societal policy on food I would make it that we all eat less calories a day. I would also have there be less meals a day so that people who are starving could also have a meal that was taken out of someone else's day to eat.

I agree that dietary choices lower a carbon footprint result, because its less calories consumed. However, to make eating less calories a societal policy is a lot more complicated itself for just lowering carbon footprints. I also agree with the people who are starving could benefit from it.

Ya see, the problem with your "fewer meals a day" policy is that people are way too lazy to really follow through with that. I mean, the United States failed to pass the Metric Conversion Act in 1975 because people were just too indolent to try to learn the metric system, and I fear that a policy such as the one you propose here will have the same response. I know that I, personally, am not willing to give up a meal a day. I like, the rest of the world, want to eat. I think that a better proposition would be to have willing and kindhearted people donate some food to a middleman who would then send that food to people who need it. (If you didn't realize, I was describing a charity, which is already a thing).
