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!

WHO weighs in
I like to provide healthful information when engaged in a helpful conversation about diet. World Health Organization has extensive info on nutrition and protein intake > http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/hand … sequence=1
See Table 4 on p88 of this document. For my age and weight, 50g of protein a day. At 28g/oz, less than half a "quarter pounder" hamburger per day. In fact I avoid beef, and WHO provides detail on non-meat sources of complex protein. Impact?
