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!

Is it time to switch to vegan?
Meat is a big portion of people's diets all across the world. Many people have meat to consume protein to keep them health. But many poor people don't have the money to buy meat. Like Avery said meat production produces 11 times greenhouse gases then fruits or vegtables so by eating less meat their won't be as much carbon in the air so their for it will help the world. Also the homeless with be able to eat better becuase fruits and vegtables are much cheaper than meat. The U.S in 2014 exported 1.7 billion metric tons of meat. With that much being exported it really hurt the enviorment. Finnaly, I believe in the future by swithing to vegan we will make the world a better place and that is our goal at the end of the day to always make the world a better place
