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!

Ending World Hunger
Most developed countries waste a lot of food. In the United States 40% of food is wasted. That's almost half of the food supply. People joke about hunger and others don't do anything to fix it. People need to buy less food if they know they most likely wont eat it. There should be some sort of regulation donating money to a cause for world hunger with every item you buy.
I love that idea. It's something that the big grocery stores should undertake. Even a few pennies on the dollar towards a cause like that would make a difference
